The United States and Iran started in-person talks in Islamabad on Saturday to end their six-week conflict. US Vice President JD Vance leads the American delegation, while Iran's parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf heads their team of over 70 people. Pakistan facilitated the meetings. Key disputes include Lebanon's ceasefire inclusion and US sanctions relief. A two-week ceasefire began Tuesday, halting airstrikes but not Iran's Strait of Hormuz blockade.
