Iranian delegation arrives in Islamabad for truce talks, insists on preconditions being met
A high-ranking Iranian delegation has arrived in the Pakistani capital Islamabad for talks with US representatives, as Tehran warns that any failure to meet its preconditions will derail the process.
Headed by Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf, the delegation, which includes security, political, military, economic, and legal committees, arrived in Islamabad on Friday night.
Other Iranian officials on the delegation include Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Secretary of the Supreme National Defense Council Ali-Akbar Ahmadian, Central Bank Governor Abdolnasser Hemmati, as well as several members of parliament.
US Vice President JD Vance, Washington's regional envoy Steve Witkoff, and President Donald Trump's advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner have also reached Islamabad.
Trump announced a two-week lull in US attacks on Iran on Tuesday, 40 days after the country joined the Israeli regime in the duo's latest bout of unprovoked aggression towards Iran.

The announcement came after Iran's Armed Forces unleashed at least 99 waves of determined and successful retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic American and Israeli targets throughout the region.
Earlier on Friday, Qalibaf said a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Iran’s blocked assets were the prerequisites to be met before the commencement of negotiations with the United States.
A 10-point proposal forwarded by Iran, which Trump has referred to as a "workable basis on which to negotiate and the main framework for these talks," explicitly conditions a ceasefire on the cessation of aggression on all fronts, including against Lebanon.
Since Trump's announcement, however, the Israeli regime has markedly escalated its attacks on Lebanon, claiming the lives of hundreds of people, including women and children.
