US-Iran talks in Pakistan: Who’s attending, what’s on the agenda?

What Happened

The United States and Iran will hold talks in Islamabad, Pakistan on Saturday following a Pakistan-mediated two-week ceasefire agreement. US Vice President JD Vance will lead the American delegation alongside Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will head the Iranian side. The negotiations occur six weeks after coordinated US-Israeli strikes on Iran that escalated regional conflict, disrupted global oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, and killed thousands across multiple countries.
