# U.S. and Iranian negotiators held high-level talks in Pakistan yesterday to try to end their six-week war. The talks in Islamabad were the first direct U.S.-Iranian meeting in more than a decade. U.S. Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner met Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi for two hours. The Strait of Hormuz, that Iran has effectively blocked but Trump has vowed to reopen, is crucial to negotiations between the two sides, that is set to continue today.
