The fragile 14-day ceasefire between the United States and Iran is set to expire on April 22. US Vice President JD Vance has indicated that discussions in Pakistan may occur before the ceasefire ends, but Iran's Parliament Speaker, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, has expressed skepticism about negotiations, suggesting Iran is prepared for continued conflict. Iran's demands for a peace deal include a non-aggression pact, control over the Strait of Hormuz, and the lifting of US sanctions. Conversely, the US has outlined 15 conditions for any agreement, including commitments from Iran regarding nuclear weapons and support for proxy groups. The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon further complicates the situation, with significant civilian casualties reported. The outcome of any future negotiations will depend on the status of the Strait of Hormuz and whether the Israel-Hezbollah conflict remains contained.
