Iran war turns hot again: US releases moment it boarded tanker, Iran ‘attacks American
What to expect at the upcoming peace talks in Islamabad
Peace talks between Washington and Tehran are scheduled to take place in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, later today.
Delegations are expected to gather at the city’s Serena Hotel – where previous discussions on April 11 failed to achieve a resolution to end the war.
Guests have been told to leave the hotel and police have announced the closure of key surrounding roads.
Donald Trump announced that his ‘representatives’ would arrive in Islamabad this evening, with Vice-President JD Vance leading the US delegation alongside Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
The Islamic Republic is yet to formally confirm whether it will attend discussions.
According to the country’s state media, the regime will not participate in the talks while the US blockade of Iranian ports remains in place.
The fragile two-week ceasefire is due to expire on Wednesday, and the US President has repeated his threats of destroying Iranian infrastructure if a deal isn’t signed.
