Foreign ministers from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt are meeting in Islamabad today to negotiate a de-escalation of the Iran war on its 30th day. This "quad" of regional powers seeks a political solution as Yemen's Houthis enter the conflict, launching missiles toward Israel and threatening Red Sea shipping lanes. In Saudi Arabia, 15 U.S. service members were recently wounded at the Prince Sultan air base, while the Pentagon deploys thousands more troops from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and the 82nd Airborne Division. Iran has also issued threats against American university campuses in the UAE and Qatar following strikes in Tehran. Meanwhile, the use of cluster munitions and the invasion of southern Lebanon continue to drive up the humanitarian toll.
