Uncertainty Over US-Iran Peace Talks
President Donald Trump has announced that a delegation led by Vice President JD Vance will return to Pakistan to seek a deal before the current ceasefire expires on Tuesday.
Despite this diplomatic push, Trump has simultaneously renewed threats to destroy Iranian power plants and bridges if an agreement is not reached.
Iranian state media reports that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has taken a harder line, rejecting further concessions while the US naval blockade remains in place.
The conflicting signals have left international observers skeptical of a breakthrough.
