Pakistan attempts to broker second round of US-Iran talks in Islamabad as ceasefire deadline approaches
Pakistan is working to facilitate a second round of direct US-Iran negotiations in Islamabad before a two-week ceasefire expires on Wednesday. US Vice President JD Vance is leading the American delegation, while Iran has publicly stated it has no plans to return to the negotiating table, citing US threats and escalatory actions. Iran's chief negotiator Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf warned that Iran has 'new cards on the battlefield' and rejected negotiations 'under the shadow of threats.'
