US-Iran Peace Talks in Pakistan

Negotiators from Washington and Tehran are gathering in the Pakistani capital under heavy security to stabilize a fragile two-week ceasefire.

President Trump has expressed confidence in the talks but warned that U.S. warships are 'reloading' with advanced weaponry should the diplomatic mission fail.

Iran has set firm preconditions, insisting that hostilities in Lebanon must cease before a permanent agreement can be reached.

Pakistan is acting as a key mediator in these 'make-or-break' discussions, which represent the highest-level engagement between the two nations in decades.
