Vance and Ghalibaf Lead Talks

Despite the lack of a final agreement, the face-to-face nature of the discussions is being viewed as a significant diplomatic milestone.

Previous rounds of negotiation had relied on Pakistani officials shuttling between separate rooms, but this session saw the two delegations engage directly.

The talks focused on a complex set of issues including Iran's uranium stockpiles and control of the Strait of Hormuz.

While the delegations have now departed Pakistan, both sides have indicated that the door remains open for future communication.
