**Meaning:** Kinetic escalation and political noise haven’t killed the diplomatic track. Tit-for-tat strikes and Trump’s declaration of a terminated ceasefire coexist with active technical negotiations. A specific round is set for July 11 in Islamabad. Qatar and Pakistan are mediating to save the June MOU. Neither side has fully closed the door on de-escalation.
**Key Questions Raised:** 1. **Dissonance:** Can technical talks work while military forces stay on alert and leaders claim ceasefires are dead? 2. **Mediation Leverage:** What can Qatar and Pakistan do to enforce the June MOU when violations are ongoing? 3. **July 11 Viability:** Will the Islamabad talks happen as scheduled, or do recent strikes force a cancellation? 4. **Authority:** Do technical negotiators have the power to ignore or override the escalatory statements from political leadership?
