End Of Ceasefire Approaches; Fate Of Iran Peace Talks Uncertain

IRAN – Iran is considering attending peace talks with the United States in Pakistan, according to a senior Iranian official, following moves ​by Islamabad to end a U.S. blockade of Iran’s ports.

With a two-week ceasefire set to expire this week, the senior Iranian official said Tehran was “positively reviewing” its participation but no final decision had been made. The comments conveyed a clear change of tone from earlier statements ruling out attendance ​and pledging to retaliate for U.S. aggression.
