Historic face-to-face negotiations continued after midnight between the United States and Iran in Pakistan, days after a fragile, two-week ceasefire was announced. Meanwhile, the U.S. military says two destroyers transited the Iran-gripped Strait of Hormuz ahead of mine-clearing work, a first since the war began. A U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance and an Iranian delegation led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf first met with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif before rounds of direct talks Saturday. The war has caused thousands of deaths and disrupted the global economy, particularly through Iran's closure of the strait.
