< warm data-start="78" data-end="85"> iranian language and US delegations ar converging on capital of pakistan for what Pakistan’s prime minister has called a “make-or-break moment” in efforts to turn a fragile ceasefire into a broader agreement.
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is leading the Iranian side, while US Vice President JD Vance is heading the American team, which has yet to arrive.
Iran has arrived with a message of deep mistrust. Ghalibaf said Tehran had “goodwill” but not trust, and accused Washington of attacking Iran “twice within less than a year” in the middle of negotiations despite Iran’s good faith.
Vance struck a similar tone, saying earlier that he expected productive talks while warning Iran not to “play” the US.
President Donald Trump, for his part, has projected confidence and threat in equal measure, saying the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened “with or without” Tehran’s cooperation as he reportedly prepares military options in case the talks collapse.
“We don’t need a back-up plan ... We’ve hit them hard, our military is amazing,” Trump told journalists after wishing Vance “luck”.
