The Iranian delegation, headed by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf (Speaker of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Parliament), arrived in Islamabad, Pakistan, for crucial ceasefire talks with the United States. In a powerful gesture, the delegation showcased portraits of school children killed in the recent Minab attack, along with their personal belongings, as a reminder of the human cost of the ongoing conflict. The attack, which occurred during the first day of the US-Israel war with Iran, reportedly resulted in the deaths of over 175 children and teachers. The talks are set against a backdrop of a two-week ceasefire announced by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, aimed at facilitating negotiations between the two nations. The US delegation, led by Vice President J D Vance, is expected to arrive shortly. Vance emphasized the US's willingness to negotiate in good faith, warning that any deceptive tactics would not be tolerated. The outcome of these talks is critical, as the ongoing conflict has pushed the world to the brink of an energy crisis.
