Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf will lead the Iranian delegation in Islamabad talks with the US. US Vice President JD Vance is expected to represent the United States. The discussions will be based on Iran's 10-point proposal, covering nuclear issues and sanctions relief.
Israel has suspended strikes against Iran, and the Iranian Parliament Speaker is set to lead a delegation for talks with the US and Vance's delegation. This signals a potential de-escalation in regional military tensions. The focus is shifting towards the resumption of diplomatic dialogue between the two sides.
Iran's Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, will lead a negotiating team for talks with U.S. Vice President JD Vance in Islamabad, Pakistan. This meeting is seen as an attempt to resume diplomatic dialogue between the two nations. It suggests a potential for de-escalation in the Middle East region.
The first round of US-Iran ceasefire talks is set to be hosted in Pakistan, brokered by Islamabad. US President Trump dispatched a team led by JD Vance, following an agreement for an immediate ceasefire across the region, including Lebanon. However, the truce's fragility is highlighted by intensified Israeli strikes and Iranian actions, creating mixed hopes and fears for the negotiations.
The White House stated that some of Iran's 10-point proposals were 'literally thrown in the garbage,' maintaining a tough stance. JD Vance is set to lead the US negotiating team in talks in Islamabad with Iran. However, the US reiterated that its core demand—the halt of Iranian nuclear enrichment—remains unchanged.
US Vice President JD Vance called the Iran ceasefire a 'fragile truce,' citing distrust from Iranian leaders. This statement came as Iran launched missile and drone attacks on Gulf states immediately after the truce was secured. The US urged Iran's sincere negotiation, stressing that the success of talks ultimately depends on Tehran's actions.
VP JD Vance stated that ceasefires are inherently messy and that the US never indicated Lebanon would be part of any deal with Iran. Despite claims from the Iranian Parliament Speaker that the US violated three ceasefire clauses, Vance countered that there is significant agreement. Vance framed the disagreements as misunderstandings, asserting that Iran's choice to derail the talks over unrelated issues is ultimately their own.
VP JD Vance stated the current Iran ceasefire is fragile but could hold if Tehran negotiates in good faith. President Trump warned that if Iran breaks the truce or deceives, the US will use strong military and economic tools. The truce is predicated on Iran agreeing to the complete and immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz, with further talks scheduled for Friday.
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, will lead the Iranian delegation for talks with the US. The talks, set in Islamabad, Pakistan, will cover not only the nuclear program and regional security but also sanctions dating back 45 years. US Vice President James David Vance will head the US delegation.
Iranian state media reported closing the Strait of Hormuz, but the White House disputed this, citing increased traffic. The US demands Iran immediately reopen the strait. The US plans to hold in-person peace talks with Iran in Pakistan.
