Uncertainty Clouds U.S.-Iran Peace Talks

New York Times: “Vice President JD Vance was expected to leave for Pakistan on Tuesday, two U.S. officials said, just over a week after a round of talks there with Iran’s lead negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, ended without a deal.”

“Iran has not publicly confirmed its participation in more talks, and Mr. Ghalibaf said on Monday that Iran would not attend under ‘the shadow of threats’ — an apparent reference to Mr. Trump’s vow to target Iranian power plants and civilian infrastructure if a deal isn’t reached.”
