What happened

World on edge with anticipation before Iran talks ISLAMABAD — As the hours tick away until the US-Iran cease-fire expires, even the epicenter of potential peace between Washington and Tehran is on edge.

Why it matters

Pakistan’s capital is largely shut down, with even the most basic answers to questions about the US-Iran conflict remaining elusive.

Common ground

Three Pakistani sources told The Post the cease-fire is scheduled to end at 7:50 p.m.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Appeal to Fear: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
