Trump Warns of Fresh Iran Attacks If Peace Talks in Pakistan Fail

President Donald Trump says the U.S. will resume strikes on Iran at a higher level if peace talks in Pakistan collapse, claiming ships are being loaded with the best weapons yet. The White House has not immediately responded, while Vice President JD Vance leads talks with Iran’s side to try to seal a ceasefire before the deadline. The rhetoric comes alongside concerns about potential military action and related effects on energy markets.

Vance’s Gaffe Dashes Ahead of Iran Peace Talks

In Hungary, Vice President JD Vance greeted questions about Iran’s ceasefire violations with an insult and then offered a offbeat analogy about his wife to defend U.S. negotiating posture as he heads to peace talks in Islamabad. The remarks come amid efforts to find a diplomatic off-ramp in a costly war, with Kushner and Steve Witkoff expected to join, and as discussions focus on Iran’s nuclear enrichment and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, all against a backdrop of a fragile ceasefire and mounting political pressure at home.

Trump Flags Military Action If Iran Talks Falter

Amid ongoing peace talks with Iran, Donald Trump posted a late-night Truth Social message suggesting the U.S. would keep ships, aircraft, and personnel in the region with extra ammunition until a “REAL AGREEMENT” is reached, and warning that if talks fail there would be a more intense confrontation. He asserted no nuclear weapons and a safe Strait of Hormuz, claimed America is back, and hinted at a possible “next conquest,” while White House officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Pakistan positions itself as broker in US-Iran talks amid regional tensions

Pakistan is positioning itself as a go-between in nascent US-Iran peace talks, relaying a US 15-point peace plan to Tehran and offering to host negotiations as Washington signals openness to diplomacy; the move could boost Islamabad’s regional clout and help ease its energy- and security-driven pressures, but it risks backfiring if the US is merely buying time for a possible strike or if Iran distrusts Pakistan, all while Islamabad navigates a delicate balance with Saudi Arabia, anti-American sentiment at home, and cross-border militancy.

Trump frames Iran’s ‘present’ of 10 tankers as possible path to peace

At a cabinet meeting, Trump claimed Iran allowed eight tankers through the Strait of Hormuz and sent two more as a ‘present’ toward peace, signaling a possible path to negotiations, though details are sparse and Iran disputes talks. U.S. officials defended the war while presenting a confidential 15-point peace framework, with options ranging from diplomacy to seizing Iran’s oil, as public opposition grows and fuel prices rise, leaving the endgame unclear.

China senses a glimmer of peace as US-Iran talks surface amid Israeli strikes

China’s Wang Yi says a “glimmer of hope” for peace has emerged as signals from the US and Iran point toward negotiations, even as Tehran insists it is not negotiating for now and Trump touts talk of a deal; Israel continues strikes against Iranian targets and Hezbollah positions, with spillover into Lebanon, while Gulf states grow wary of mediation efforts. Markets react to the de‑escalation uncertainty with mixed stock performance and rising oil prices amid heightened regional tension.

White House warns Iran: accept peace or face intensified retaliation

The White House says Trump is prepared to unleash harsher actions on Iran if it rejects a 15-point US peace plan, while talks continue and are described as productive despite Tehran’s rejection. Mediators push for in-person discussions as Iran presents a counterproposal; however, substantial hurdles remain to reach a deal amid ongoing regional attacks and broader strategic tensions.

Iran Doubts Trump Peace-Talk Gambit as U.S. Military Pressure Rises

Iranian officials told mediators in Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey that Trump’s push for in‑person peace talks is a trick, pointing to past surprise attacks and continuing military moves that erode trust. The U.S. is pressing for talks in Pakistan and has floated JD Vance as a non‑hawk participant, while proposing a 15‑point plan on ending the war, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting sanctions, and securing assurances on Iran’s nuclear/missile programs and proxies. Tehran seeks a ceasefire before concessions, and mediators report heavy U.S. military buildup that could sustain weeks of conflict even if talks proceed; no final meeting has been set.

US eyes potential Iran peace summit as Tehran’s reply remains pending

The U.S. and regional mediators are pursuing a high-level peace summit with Iran as soon as Thursday, but Tehran has not yet responded. Washington says Iran has agreed to many points in a 15-point plan to end the war and has signaled progress on concessions such as relinquishing enriched uranium and accepting stricter inspections, though Iranian consent is unconfirmed and Israel remains skeptical about the depth of any commitment. Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey are mediating and could host talks if both sides agree. The administration has signaled readiness for escalation, including the possible deployment of thousands with the 82nd Airborne, while also preparing for a potential diplomatic track that could stretch over two to three weeks of conflict regardless of talks.

US floats 15-point plan to end Iran war, signaling diplomacy

The New York Times reports the U.S. has sent Iran a 15-point plan to end the war, delivered via Pakistan; Trump says the U.S. and Iran are negotiating and Tehran is 'talking sense,' though Iran denies direct talks. It’s unclear how widely the plan is circulated or whether Israel would back it. Pakistan is offering to facilitate talks, while White House officials stress sensitive diplomacy. Separately, the Pentagon is reportedly preparing to deploy up to 3,000 troops and the administration seeks war funding; Trump reiterates that preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon remains the main objective.

Zelensky Pushes U.S. Talks to Kickstart Ukraine Peace Negotiations

President Zelensky said Ukraine’s negotiating team is en route to the United States to press for a meaningful revival of peace talks to end Russia’s full-scale war, after two rounds were delayed by the Middle East conflict. The delegation—led by Rustem Umerov and including Kirill Budanov, David Arakhamia, and Serhiy Kyslytsia—will meet U.S. officials to seek security guarantees and air-defense cooperation, as Kyiv emphasizes that the pause in negotiations must end and continues cooperation on drone defense amid broader regional tensions.

On the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion, the G7 leaders reaffirm unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and back a peace process with Russia, including security guarantees via the Coalition of the Willing and continued humanitarian and financial aid.

They also commit to nuclear safety work with the EBRD, including rehabilitation of the Chornobyl containment arch, and support the return of Ukrainian children and ongoing humanitarian aid.

Four Years In, Ukraine War Stalemate Persists as Drones Reshape Warfare

Four years into Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, the conflict remains a grinding stalemate: front lines barely move, casualties are high on both sides, and drones have become decisive on the battlefield. Kyiv seeks a ceasefire with security guarantees and Donetsk region pulls back, while Moscow presses for broader influence, all within an uneasy U.S.-led mediation that has yet to yield a settlement. Russia’s energy-targeting bombardments and Ukraine’s long‑range drone strikes underscore a costly war of attrition that shows no quick path to peace amid economic strain and shifting international dynamics.
