U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Negotiations in Islamabad
Following a fragile two-week ceasefire established on April 7, U.S. and Iranian officials gathered in Islamabad, Pakistan, for high-level negotiations. The truce pauses the intense U.S. 'Operation Epic Fury' airstrikes into Iran (which recently included the successful combat rescue of a downed U.S. F-15E aircrew). However, the diplomatic talks are highly strained by ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon, which Tehran argues violates the regional truce parameters.
