US President Donald Trump announced that indirect peace talks with Iran have commenced, facilitated by Pakistan. He characterized Iran as a 'failing nation' and indicated that the US is prepared to reset its approach if negotiations do not progress. The talks were initiated following a reduction in hostilities, particularly in Lebanon, where Israeli attacks have continued despite calls for a ceasefire. A US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance and an Iranian delegation led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf met separately with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Iran has demanded the release of its blocked assets and a ceasefire in Lebanon as preconditions for negotiations. If these indirect talks transition into direct discussions, it would mark the highest-level engagement between the US and Iran since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979.
