Following a temporary ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran, an Iranian delegation has arrived in Islamabad for talks. The US demands Iran hand over its enriched uranium stockpile and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran demands sanctions removal and an end to military actions. However, doubts about the ceasefire's sustainability persist due to ongoing military operations in Lebanon.
President Donald Trump has appointed VP JD Vance to lead high-stakes peace talks with Iran in Pakistan. The talks aim to maintain a fragile ceasefire, with Iran setting conditions including sanctions relief. Vance is noted for his more cautious views regarding military action against Iran.
Iran claims progress in direct talks with the US in Islamabad, advancing discussions to technical levels. The US focuses on nuclear restrictions, while Iran demands guarantees regarding Lebanon and sanctions relief. News emerged about the unfreezing of Iranian assets, though the US officially denied this claim.
