Pakistan Mediates US-Iran Summit to Sustain Peace Talks
Pakistan is hosting high-level talks between the United States and Iran, aiming for a modest outcome to keep negotiations ongoing. The talks follow a Pakistan-mediated two-week ceasefire and are set to commence in Islamabad. The US delegation, led by Vice President JD Vance, includes President Trump's chief negotiator Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Iran's team is expected to be led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. The negotiations are conducted in a 'proximity format,' with both delegations in separate rooms and Pakistani officials shuttling messages between them. Pakistan aims to secure an agreement for continued dialogue, despite key differences in the US and Iranian positions.
