Is the US-Iran ceasefire already doomed?

What Happened

The United States and Iran are preparing talks in Pakistan with modest expectations. Negotiations will proceed on Iran's 10-point proposal rather than the US 15-point plan. Iran demands control of the Strait of Hormuz, lifting of sanctions, US troop withdrawal, and ceasefire extension to Israel's operations. Washington has signaled willingness to accept some Iranian terms. Success may be measured by avoiding conflict rather than achieving lasting agreement.
