The Islamabad Memorandum: A Geopolitical Pivot and the Perils of Western Decline

The US and Iran signed a landmark peace MoU, brokered by Pakistan, but its fragile implementation was immediately jeopardized by a new Israel-Hezbollah flare-up, demonstrating the volatile path ahead for West Asian stability.
