US and Iran teams in Pakistan for peace talks amid doubts over Lebanon
Senior U.S. and Iranian leaders engaged in peace talks in Islamabad to end a six-week conflict, but Iran's demand for commitments on Lebanon and sanctions has cast doubt on the negotiations. The talks, if successful, could impact regional security dynamics and cyber stability, with potential implications for critical infrastructure and diplomatic systems. Diplomatic failure may escalate tensions, increasing the risk of cyberattacks against political, military, or economic targets in the region.
