Iran

Washington Post - Direct U.S.-Iranian talks stretched into early Sunday here, as the two sides began to delve into technical details in the highest level of face-to-face engagement between leaders of the United States and Iran in decades.

The negotiations, led on the U.S. side by Vice President JD Vance, continued for more than six hours and were largely positive but went through “mood swings,” according to a Pakistani official briefed on the progress of the talks.

After the two sides took their first break of the night, the talks resumed at the technical level, signaling progress in the initial phase, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive closed-door deliberations.

Washington Post - The negotiations between the U.S. and Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, on ending the six-week conflict are the first face-to-face talks between the two nations since 1979, the White House confirmed on Saturday.
