US-Iran direct talks hours away: first since strikes began 6 weeks ago

Planeloads of negotiators and too little time: US and Iran’s 21 hours of talks
AI Summary
A high-level Iranian delegation, including Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Araghchi, arrived in Islamabad on Saturday for direct talks with the US. These negotiations mark the first direct engagement between the two nations since hostilities began six weeks prior. The talks aim to solidify a fragile two-week ceasefire and ultimately end the conflict. Despite expressing "goodwill," Ghalibaf emphasized Iran's deep mistrust of the US, citing past betrayals and broken promises during previous negotiations. He stated that while Iran seeks a genuine agreement that secures its rights, it remains wary of potential US deceit and is prepared to rely on its own capabilities.
