High-stakes US–Iran peace talks in Islamabad have drawn attention not only for their geopolitical significance but also for symbolic optics. US Vice President JD Vance arrived with a senior delegation for negotiations aimed at stabilising a fragile ceasefire after weeks of conflict. He was received by Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir, whose formal attire and prominent role underscored Pakistan’s positioning as a key mediator. While the optics projected diplomatic seriousness and control, deep mistrust persists between Washington and Tehran over sanctions, Lebanon, and regional security, raising doubts about whether the talks will achieve meaningful progress.
