U.S. and Iran hold historic talks to finalize ceasefire
On April 11–12, 2026, the United States and Iran held historic face-to-face negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan.
These meetings, the highest-level direct talks since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, aimed to solidify a fragile ceasefire following a seven-week war.
Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, the 21-hour marathon session concluded without an agreement.
The U.S. pushed for a 15-point plan focusing on nuclear limitations and security in the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran demanded the lifting of sanctions and a permanent end to hostilities.
Despite Pakistan’s active mediation, the talks stalled.
As the world watches, the status of the two-week ceasefire remains uncertain, with diplomats urging both sides to maintain dialogue to prevent further conflict.
