‘No offensive role’ for Australia as clock ticks towards first US-Iran talks since war
Planeloads of negotiators and too little time: US and Iran’s 21 hours of talks
AI Summary
US Vice-President J.D. Vance will meet with Iranian officials in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Saturday for the first high-level US-Iran talks since 1979 aimed at ending the war in the Middle East. The US delegation, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, will arrive on Friday, with negotiations expected to last one day. The talks follow unsuccessful discussions in late February where the US claimed Iran was unwilling to compromise on its nuclear program. The meeting will take place at the Serena Hotel, which has been secured, and local authorities have heightened security measures, including declaring a two-day public holiday. The outcome of these talks could significantly impact the fragile US-Iran truce.
