Transcribe →After Peace Talks in Islamabad
Apr 1400:12:03Tap to summarizeHistoric negotiations between Iran and the United States ended without a deal, leaving the Strait of Hormuz closed and putting a fragile ceasefire at risk. Vice President Vance led the American delegation in Islamabad with Iranian Speaker of Parliament Qalibaf leading the delegation from Tehran. After negotiations failed, President Trump took to Truth Social to say the U.S. Navy will blockade the strait. The collapse of those talks and the U.S. president’s new threat now put the fragile, two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran in jeopardy.GUEST: Negar Mortazavi, journalist, host of Iran Podcast, and Senior Fellow at Center for International Policy.
