US-Iran peace talks in Pakistan

Mediated by Pakistan, these discussions represent the most significant direct contact between Washington and Tehran in decades.

Key agenda items include the ongoing conflict in Lebanon, the security of the Strait of Hormuz, and potential sanctions relief for Iran.

President Donald Trump has warned that military action will intensify if a lasting deal is not reached.

However, the negotiations are complicated by deep mutual mistrust and Iran's demand for a simultaneous ceasefire in Lebanon.
