US aircraft in Pakistan amid stalled talks

Iran's ISNA news agency reports that a US aircraft is currently present in Islamabad, Pakistan, where the second round of US-Iran negotiations was supposed to take place. However, key negotiating figures from both sides remain absent, with US negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff having returned to Washington and Vice President JD Vance's trip on hold. The talks remain stalled as Iran continues to demand the lifting of the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz before participating. The absence of principal negotiators suggests the diplomatic process remains frozen despite the physical presence of US assets in Pakistan.
