Talks between Iran and the U.S. began in Islamabad, and the White House said Vice President JD Vance, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met face to face with an Iranian team led by parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, with Pakistani officials present. Al Jazeera’s sources said planned proximity talks had shifted to direct negotiations.

Why it matters

It was the highest-level U.S.-Iran meeting since the 1979 revolution, and its outcome would decide whether the two-week ceasefire could become a durable settlement.
