Iranian Delegation Arrives in Islamabad for Key Talks

An Iranian delegation landed in Islamabad yesterday for significant peace talks with the United States, described as 'make-or-break'. The team, led by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, includes senior political, military, and economic officials, such as Iran's Foreign Minister and Central Bank Governor.

The talks come amid warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has prepared American warships for potential military action if negotiations fail.

Trump emphasized military readiness and hinted at a strategic shift in U.S. policy towards Iran. The discussions are critical as Iran seeks to unblock its assets and address sanctions that have severely impacted its economy, particularly in the oil and gas sector.

The U.S. delegation, led by Vice President JD Vanc, is expected to pursue a positive outcome. Tensions remain high, with Trump indicating that a ceasefire agreement is contingent on Iran fulfilling its pledges.
