Mediators press renewed US-Iran talks as ceasefire deadline nears
TL;DR Summary
Pakistani, Egyptian and Turkish mediators push Washington and Tehran to narrow remaining gaps—particularly on uranium enrichment and access to unfrozen funds—with the aim of a new round of negotiations before the ceasefire ends on April 21. Iran signals progress and the Islamabad talks laid groundwork for diplomacy, while the US warns of possible strikes or a naval blockade if Iran resists. Vice President JD Vance led the talks and left the door open to a deal if both sides compromise.
