The world waits with bated breath for a peaceful resolution to the US-Iran conflict, amidst conflicting signals and warnings of escalating violence.
US President Donald Trump's potential visit to Pakistan, where the second round of talks with Iran is set to take place, has been shrouded in mystery.
Initial statements from the US suggested that JD Vance would travel to Pakistan on Monday, but he remained in the US until Monday night, leaving the situation confusing.
Iran's Parliament Speaker, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, accused the US of turning negotiations into a 'table of surrender,' while Pakistan continued to say it is doing its best to get Iran for the second round of Islamabad talks.
The US had sent a 15-point proposal to Iran ahead of the talks, which was countered by the Islamic Republic with a ten-point proposal of its own, containing contentious points on which neither side appears willing to compromise.
The US is asking Iran to give up its nuclear ambitions and surrender its uranium stockpiles, while Iran has sought total control over the Strait of Hormuz and demanded that Israel stop attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon.
It remains unclear how long the ceasefire will hold, and whether Iran and the US will accept each other's demands, making it a humongous task for Pakistan to get both sides to agree to these terms.
