Pakistan briefs Iran on upcoming peace talks

Pakistan is making intensive diplomatic efforts to convince Iran to attend peace talks scheduled for tomorrow in Islamabad. This follows Pakistan's earlier briefing of Iran's ambassador on the arrangements for the negotiations. The talks come amid broader US-Iran tensions, with Vice President JD Vance and Jared Kushner arriving in Pakistan as part of a US delegation. Iran has previously shunned talks after the US seizure of the vessel Touska, but Pakistan has been designated as Iran's sole official US mediator.
