Vance heads to Pakistan

The American delegation, which includes Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff, faces a daunting task as they attempt to resolve the six-week-old conflict.

President Trump has maintained a hardline stance, warning that U.S. warships are 'loading up' with advanced weaponry should the talks fail to produce results.

Iran has countered with its own preconditions, including the unfreezing of blocked assets and a cessation of Israeli strikes against Hezbollah.

Mediators from Pakistan are working to bridge the profound trust deficit between Washington and Tehran to prevent a return to all-out war.
