High-level negotiations between the United States and Iran commenced in Islamabad, Pakistan, with the aim of resolving ongoing conflicts in West Asia that have resulted in significant casualties and economic disruption. The US has tentatively agreed to certain Iranian demands, including phased unfreezing of Iranian assets and cooperation in reducing hostilities. In exchange, Iran has committed to full cooperation through Pakistani intermediaries, while the US has insisted on dismantling Iran's nuclear program and reopening the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian delegation, led by parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, is negotiating with US representatives, including Vice President JD Vance and White House envoy Steve Witkoff. Despite some progress reported by Iranian state media, key issues remain unresolved, and both sides have expressed willingness to continue fighting if no agreement is reached. The outcome of these talks could significantly impact regional stability and international relations.
