US and Iran held direct talks in Islamabad, but outcome is still uncertain. The main sticking point? The Strait of Hormuz.
Direct US-Iran talks in Islamabad moved quickly over the weekend, but the outcome is still uncertain. The big point of disagreement is the Strait of Hormuz. The US is focused on stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, while Iran wants sanctions lifted and progress on issues in Lebanon. Pakistan helped host the unusual talks. While there are signs of some progress, like talks about unfreezing assets and clearing sea mines, the gap between the two sides remains wide.
