Iran-US: Indirect Diplomacy Seeks a Venue Between Geneva and Islamabad

Discussions between Tehran and Washington may resume as early as Thursday, with Geneva and Islamabad as potential venues for talks. Previous negotiations led by US Vice President JD Vance and Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf did not result in an agreement, although both sides acknowledged deep disagreements. Meanwhile, the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has been spotted near Iranian shores, while Washington plans to impose a maritime blockade on Iran.
