Officials in Pakistan's capital said an Iranian delegation will arrive in Islamabad Friday evening to prepare for key peace talks scheduled for Saturday with the United States. One anonymous source said Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi and Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf will lead the delegation. US President Trump has sent Vice President Vance, special envoy Witkov, and son-in-law Kushner to Islamabad to meet with Iranian officials. The Iranian embassy in Islamabad did not respond to requests for comment. Iran has not yet officially confirmed its participation in the negotiations or the members of its delegation, although Iranian state media have stated that Ghalibaf will lead the talks. Given Israel's continued bombing of Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, the prospects for a lasting peace agreement this weekend remain uncertain. The US and Iran are also far apart on demands for a long-term ceasefire, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining a key sticking point. (Jinshi)
