US-Iran Peace Talks Stalled

Despite President Trump's announcement that a US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance would travel to Pakistan, Iranian officials claim they have no current plans to participate.

The diplomatic deadlock follows the seizure of an Iranian cargo ship, which Tehran views as a sign of American bad faith.

Negotiators are struggling to find common ground on issues including the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program before the ceasefire expires.

International mediators, including Pakistan's military leadership, are working frantically to prevent a return to active combat.
