As the U.S.-Iran ceasefire deadline looms, here are the main sticking points for talks
The US and Iran are on the verge of a second round of peace talks as their two-week ceasefire deadline looms, but the prospects for renewed diplomacy remain unclear. The main sticking points in the negotiations are control over the Strait of Hormuz and the future of Iran's nuclear program.
The US and Iran are set to hold a second round of peace talks in Islamabad as their two-week ceasefire expires soon. Vice President Vance is expected to lead a US delegation, but Iran has not confirmed its participation. The main points of contention are control over the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program. The US wants commercial shipping through the strait to be fully restored and limits on Iran's nuclear enrichment. Iran's grip on the strait has raised global gas prices above $4 a gallon. President Trump has said Iran will not have a nuclear weapon and will face problems if it doesn't negotiate.
