U.S. Threatens Harsher Economic Pressure on Iran as Mediators Rush to Secure Second Ceasefire Talks

  A woman walks past a digital screen displaying news of US-Iran peace talks along a road in Islamabad on April 10, 2026 The United States has warned it will step up economic pressure on Iran while mediators race to arrange a second round of ceasefire talks before the fragile truce expires on April 22, 2026 — a standoff that risks higher oil prices, tighter global markets, and direct costs for Canadian households and investors.   Background and diplomatic timeline A two‑week ceasefire that paused nearly seven weeks of fighting was brokered to create a narrow diplomatic window for talks between Washington and Tehran. The first round of face‑to‑face negotiations in Islamabad lasted more than 20 hours but ended without an agreement, leaving the truce set to expire on April 22, 2026 unless mediators secure a follow‑up session.  Mediators led by Pakistan, with active roles from Turkey, Egypt and other regional actors, have been shuttling between capitals to bridge the remaini...

Your daily horoscope: February 7, 2026

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You will be on the go from dawn until dusk every day this year and that’s the way you like it. You have a lot to prove to those who doubt your abilities and have no intention of wasting your time and energy on frivolous pursuits.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Money matters are under better stars than they have been for a long time but you still need to be careful. What happens next will make it clear that while your financial situation is improving you can’t live the millionaire lifestyle just yet.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Your passion for life will come to the surface over the next 48 hours and even those who think they know you will be amazed by your enthusiasm for life. The best way to bring joy to other people is to be joyful yourself.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

It may be tempting to believe that the world is a wicked place but if you stand back and see the bigger picture you will realize that it’s nothing of the sort. Make a conscious effort to see the good in everyone you encounter this weekend.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Can you be both ambitious and loving at the same time? Of course you can and what occurs over the next few days will give you the opportunity to do just that. You may even find ways to combine your career goals with your emotional needs.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

This will be a fun weekend and if you get the chance to share your good fortune with other people you must do so. Your social life in general and relationships in particular are under excellent stars, so get your act together and get out there and shine.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

What’s most important this weekend is that you do your own thing in your own way to further your own objectives. The more others try to divert you away from what you think is true the more encouraged you will be to ignore them.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Your admiration for a friend or loved one will reach a new high this weekend, and that’s great, but don’t put them on such a high pedestal that they might hurt themselves if they fall off. They are no less human than you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Now that Mercury is moving in your favour again it won’t be hard to find the words to convey your feelings to the people you love. You may be emotionally controlled by nature but you are still more than capable of saying “I love you”.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Anyone who expects you to follow the tried and tested way of doing things this weekend is going to be disappointed. You are in one of those very Sagittarian moods when you delight in doing the opposite of what the “experts” say is best.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You will need to control your desire for classy and costly items this weekend. This is one of those times when a bit of window shopping could easily escalate into a full-blown spree, leading to a serious bout of buyer’s remorse later on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

The more people want to do things for you the less inclined you will be to let them. For some reason you appear to believe that the only reason they want to help is because they don’t think you can help yourself – which isn’t true.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

You know just what to say, and who to say it to, to get what you desire. Your way with words is such that no one will be able to deny you, even when they have good reason to believe that what you want could be harmful.
