Content Summary

Iran has escalated peace talks with the United States in Islamabad to the “expert level”, bringing in economic, military, legal and nuclear teams as negotiations ramp up. Technical discussions are ongoing at the Serena Hotel, according to the Iranian government’s social media. Earlier, Iran indicated there had been “progress in talks”, including on restricting strikes on Lebanon and a US agreement to release Iranian assets. The White House has not issued any updates on the negotiations, but a US official rejected claims that assets had been unfrozen. Led by Vice-President J.D. Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff, the US delegation also includes President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner; deputy national security adviser Andrew Baker; and Michael Vance, special adviser to the vice-president for Asian affairs. A full team of US experts is on the ground in Islamabad, with additional support operating from Washington, according to the White House. Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said Brad Cooper, the head of US Central Command, had also travelled with the party.
