US Vice President JD Vance has arrived in Islamabad leading a high-level American delegation for crucial “make-or-break” ceasefire talks with Iran, amid fragile truce conditions in the Middle East. Pakistan is hosting the negotiations under tight security, positioning itself as a key mediator. The discussions aim to stabilise the ceasefire and address major sticking points, including sanctions relief, Iran’s nuclear programme, and tensions in Lebanon. Iran has set preconditions, while Washington has warned against “bad faith” negotiations. With oil flows disrupted and regional violence ongoing, the outcome of these talks is seen as critical for preventing further escalation. (PC: AFP)
