During high-level peace talks held in Islamabad, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of Iran's Parliament, criticized the United States for failing to win Iran's trust. Ghalibaf stated that despite Iran's constructive proposals, the US delegation could not establish confidence, reflecting on historical tensions that have affected relations. He expressed gratitude towards Pakistan for its role in facilitating the discussions, which lasted 21 hours and marked the highest-level meeting between the US and Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. US Vice President JD Vance, who attended the talks, indicated that Washington had presented its 'final and best offer' to Tehran. The negotiations unfolded amidst regional tensions, particularly regarding the Strait of Hormuz and the Israel-Hezbollah conflict in Lebanon. Iran's demands include the unfreezing of its overseas assets and a cessation of Israeli military actions, while the US seeks security guarantees and restrictions on Iran's influence.
