Pakistan’s foreign minister says Islamabad will soon host talks between the U.S. and Iran. There was no immediate word Sunday from Washington or Tehran. The announcement came after foreign ministers from regional countries met in Islamabad. The Iranian parliament speaker dismissed the talks in Pakistan as a cover after some 2,500 U.S. Marines trained in amphibious landings arrived in the Middle East. The speaker threatened that U.S. troops would be set “on fire” if they attempt a ground invasion in the monthlong war. U.S. President Donald Trump didn’t address the potential Pakistan talks but said Sunday night that Washington was in discussions with Iran and “we’re doing extremely well in that negotiation.”
