If you ask me the best we can hope for this week is an agreement to extend the ceasefire and continue negotiating. I hope I’m being overly-pessimistic! #IslamabadTalks
Here is what Pakistan's insiders are saying:
Diplomacy is a marathon, not a sprint. Though the gap between the US and Iran remains wide, the critical takeaway is that the dialogue broken on Feb 28 has officially resumed in Pakistan. History shows these deals take years, not days.
A historic event in our neighbourhood. If the talks in Islamabad succeed, we all stand to benefit. Not one Indian journalist there to cover it. But yes, do let’s take pot-shots at it and pray that it fails so that more people are killed, our own farmers run out of fertilisers, our kitchens become dysfunctional without LPG, and we all queue up for petrol and diesel.
BREAKING: US Vice President JD Vance delivers remarks in Islamabad
We’ve been at it for 21 hours and we have had a number of substantive discussions with them and that’s the good news
The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement and I think that’s bad news much more for Iran that it’s bad news for the United States or America
We have made it clear what our red lines are - And they have chosen not accept our terms
We need to see from them an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon - or have the tools that allow them to quickly build a nuclear weapon
Pakistan Prime Minister and Field Marshal Asim Munir have been incredible hosts
Whatever shortcomings that may have happened are not because of the Pakistanis who did an amazing job and really tried and did their best to bridge the gap and get us and the Iranians a deal
We now go back to the United States
The remarks lasted around 4 mins - he took 2 questions - one from a CBS correspondent and the other from a CNN reporter
Iran's position is being misrepresented by U.S. media.
We are deeply grateful to Pakistan for its efforts and have never refused to go to Islamabad. What we care about are the terms of a conclusive and lasting END to the illegal war that is imposed on us.
