U.S.-Iran talks underway in Pakistani capital after delegations arrive

•⁠ ⁠The U.S. and Iran began peace talks Saturday with government officials in Pakistan as the war entered its seventh week.

•⁠ ⁠Two U.S. warships transited through the Strait of Hormuz for the first time since the start of the conflict.

•⁠ ⁠A two-week ceasefire in the war is under strain because Iran is continuing to block most shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most critical oil choke point.

•⁠ ⁠Iran’s Tasnim news agency said Tehran has presented Pakistani negotiators with four “non-negotiable conditions” to mediators in Islamabad.
