US EditionPakistani Delegation Arrives in Tehran in Move to Ease Tensions and Arrange Further Talks
The visit follows failed Pakistan talks as Washington and Tehran weigh a second round of negotiations, with the United States and Iran agreeing in principle to resume them.
- The United States and Iran have agreed in principle to resume peace talks, with Pakistan's Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir arriving in Tehran on Wednesday for high-stakes mediation following failed Islamabad discussions.
- Direct talks between Vice President JD Vance and Iranian officials lasted 21 hours on April 11-12 but failed over "red line" issues, primarily Iran's nuclear program; President Trump then announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz to curb Iranian "extortion."
- Trump said Tuesday the war was "close to over" and Tehran was "badly seeking a deal," while claiming Iran killed 42,000 innocent protesters; Central Command reported halting all trade to Iranian ports within the first 24 hours.
- China welcomed all efforts conducive to ceasefire and cessation of hostilities, praising Pakistan's "role in facilitating a temporary ceasefire," while Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov reiterated Moscow's readiness to help reprocess enriched uranium in Iran without violating its inalienable right to peaceful enrichment.
- A US delegation carrying a new diplomatic message is outlining a framework for second-round talks expected over the next two days, though Trump rejected extending the two-week ceasefire as Iran's envoy characterized the blockade as a "reckless misstep.
