Negotiations have begun between the US Vice President JD Vance who arrived in Islamabad on Saturday and Iran after progress was made in earlier indirect discussions. This is the first round of talks on how to convert a two-week truce with Iran into tangible passage for global shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and lasting peace, as officials publicly outlined competing preconditions.
Three party talks with the US, Iran and Pakistan have begun after a reduction in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon and other preconditions being met, according to Iran's IRNA news agency.
