What recent developments occurred in U.S.-Iran negotiations?
This is a Fox News alert. Talks between the U.S. and Iran on Lisa Brady just confirmed by the White House.
I can announce that the president is dispatching his negotiating team led by the vice president of the United States, J.D. Vance, Special Envoy Witkoff and Mr. Kushner to Islamabad for talks this weekend. The first round of those talks will take place on Saturday morning local time. And we know we look forward to those in-person meetings.
This follows the two-week ceasefire announced yesterday. White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt says the U.S. military facilitated that despite conflicting reports about an Iranian peace plan. That's not what President Trump wants.
The president's red lines, namely the end of Iranian enrichment in Iran, have not changed. And the idea that President Trump would ever accept an Iranian wish list as a deal is completely absurd.
Levitt also says his immediate priority remains reopening the Strait of Hormuz without limitations, including tolls. There are reports that Iran closed it again, blaming continued Israeli strikes targeting Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. Both the White House and the Israeli prime minister say the ceasefire does not include Lebanon.
There is concern here, according to the reporting of my colleague Trey Yinks, among Israeli officials that Iran will again and again use this as a bargaining chip because what they are saying is you, the U.S. and Israel, sure, you can come in and cripple our military, but in return, we can and will cripple your economies by closing that strait.
Fox's Jonathan Hunt in Tel Aviv. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says the president handed control of the straight to Iran.
A two-week ceasefire, especially one as fragile as this, is not a strategy. It's not a diplomatic solution. It's not a plan.
Again, talks now set for this weekend in Pakistan. America is listening to Fox News. Recapping that breaking news from the White House, which has just confirmed talks set for this weekend in Pakistan between the U.S. and Iran. Those talks to be led in part by Vice President J.D.
How did the recent ceasefire impact regional tensions?
Vance. The White House also emphasizing that what Iran says privately and publicly are two different things. The White House spokeswoman says Iran submitted a modified proposal ahead of yesterday's Trump deadline. A suspected serial killer becomes a convicted mass murderer on New York's Long Island.
