Despite no positive outcome from the talks, for #Pakistan to have managed to bring together high-level officials from the US and #Iran for the first time since the 1979 Iranian revolution is a massive diplomatic coup for Islamabad. I'm certain it will be asked again in the near future.

As part of psychological torture, Israeli captors told Palestinian hostage from Gaza Shadi abu Seido that his family and children had been bombed and killed.. He was shocked when he was released and found them alive..

This claim by the vice president these talks represented a “last, best chance“ to resolve the war, is it itself a bad sign. That’s not how diplomacy works. It took years to negotiate an end into the Vietnam war, and a year and a half to negotiate armistice to bring the Korean war to an end. To think that you’re gonna have a single diplomatic meeting, that’s gonna solve a war, is unrealistic in the extreme. If this truly was a last offer, then it was no negotiation at all, it was merely an ultimatum with a requirement for surrender. Pretty unlikely Iran will accept such terms, and most likely this just starts a countdown clock for a resumption of the war. Problem for us is, the same reasons we didn’t have military success in the first six weeks all still exist, and we are not likely to have success in the next six weeks either. Meanwhile, Iran will maintain control of HORMUZ, and the price of oil will remain high, and the dearth of fertilizers leaving the Gulf will continue to exert profound pressures on the global economy, especially here in the United States. This is not a good day for America.

So killing their spiritual leader, bombing an elementary school, threatening to wipe out their civilization, referring to it as a Christian holy war, and sending Mr. Personality Vance to negotiate didn’t get things resolved?

This is Palantir Vance's "final and best offer": We take all the uranium. We run the Strait of Hormuz. We let the death cult bomb Lebanon. Pathetic.

The US has very quickly normalised the murder of foreign leaders.

Very difficult to tell exactly what the situation is given Vance's presser. But it should be remembered that we are still in the early stages of the 2-week ceasefire and as a result, all moves - including stopping the talks - should likely be read as negotiating tactics.

Israeli tanks in Beirut in 1982, before Hezbollah existed. There has always been an excuse. It was never their fault.

@IRANinMumbai This isn’t the hotel… it’s Jinnah Convention Centre…

POV: Iranian journalists in #Islamabad for Iran–US #ceasefire talks, sending us hotel videos like it’s a travel vlog! Meanwhile we’re watching like: “Bhai, reporting hai ya vacation reels chal rahe hain?” #IranUS

@MehwishQamas Unforgettable, still unbelievable lol

کس کس کو یہ سرکس یاد ہے 🤣🤣

@LucinehK_ Love this 👍

Make Reza Pahlavi the Shah of India and send all his supporters there. They say they have an ancient and cultural bond with the great nation of India. Modi can still remain the prime minister. Everyone wins.

Another strong indicator they are going to continue bombing Lebanon

🚨 Another timely intervention by Pakistan to keep negotiations alive: Iran’s deputy foreign minister says they were “on the brink” of responding to last night’s ceasefire violation, but Pakistan stepped in and prevented escalation.
