Vance leads high-stakes Iran talks

Vice President JD Vance is leading a high-level American delegation to Pakistan for critical face-to-face negotiations with Iranian representatives.

The summit represents the most significant diplomatic effort to date to end the six-week war and resolve the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

However, the mission faces severe obstacles, including Tehran's demands for a total Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon and the release of frozen assets.

Experts warn that any strategic error in Islamabad could lead to a total collapse of the truce and a resumption of all-out hostilities.
