—
Direct negotiations between the U.S. and https://www.axios.com/world/iran" target="_blank">Iran with Pakistani mediation have started in Islamabad on Saturday, according to Iranian media reports.
Why it matters: While the https://www.axios.com/2026/04/08/us-iran-peace-talks-vance-pakistan-saturday" target="_self">meeting itself is historic — the most high-level engagement between U.S. and Iranian officials since 1979 — the chances for success appear low.
Both sides know the risk of failure is renewed war, but have clashing visions for peace.
