Jarrah Al-Murshidi, professor of political communication at King Saud University, said that escalating tensions between the US and Iran have intensified economic pressures and prompted the international community to call for renewed negotiations through the Pakistani initiative.

Speaking to Al Ekhbariya TV, Al-Murshidi added that the international community now faces an awkward situation, as the crisis remains unresolved and agreements have not been implemented following the end of the truce.

He noted that oil prices have surpassed $100 per barrel, which could negatively impact the global economy, and there is a growing sense worldwide of the need to resolve the crisis.
