June 7 marks the 100th day since the US-Israel-Iran conflict began. The
confrontation started on Feb. 28 with large-scale US and Israeli strikes on Iran
and Iranian retaliation; intense fighting ran about 40 days. A temporary
ceasefire followed and the US and Iran held an initial round of talks in
Pakistan under Pakistani mediation, but a second round remains delayed amid
persistent negotiating disputes and mutual distrust. Israeli escalation in
Lebanon and recurring US‑Iran military friction around the Strait of Hormuz have
disrupted talks and left prospects for a durable settlement unclear.
