U.S. Heads to Pakistan for High Stakes Iran Talks

David Tafuri reports as a U.S. negotiating team led by Vice President J.D. Vance travels to Pakistan for talks with Iran. The vice president emphasized a willingness to negotiate in good faith but warned that the United States will not accept manipulation in the process. Key sticking points include freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian demands for control over shipping, and conditions tied to frozen assets and regional conflict in Lebanon. With both sides presenting preconditions, the outcome of the talks remains uncertain.
