Along a border where history has long complicated neighborliness, Pakistan and Iran have signaled this week that their diplomats may have moved past the rituals of dialogue into something more substantive. A Pakistani minister's public characterization of the talks as yielding significant progress is itself a meaningful act — diplomatic language rarely concedes ground it has not already secured. Whether this moment becomes a turning point or another pause in a long cycle of friction, it reminds us that even the most entrenched tensions carry within them the possibility of resolution.
