US-Iran Peace Talks in Pakistan

US-Iran Peace Talks in Pakistan

The diplomatic summit in Pakistan represents the highest-level engagement between Washington and Tehran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Accompanied by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, Vice President Vance is tasked with stabilizing a fragile two-week ceasefire that has been tested by ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

President Trump has maintained a hardline stance, warning that military operations will resume with increased intensity if a permanent deal is not reached.

Meanwhile, Iranian officials have projected a defiant stance, bringing symbols of civilian casualties to the negotiating table to highlight the human cost of the conflict.
