The negotiations to end the war in the Middle East have a chance of success? However, Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Tehran again in case of failure. The American and Iranian delegations arrived in the Pakistani capital on the night of Friday, April 10. They are set to meet in a luxury hotel in the late morning but will be in separate rooms. Pakistani intermediaries will facilitate communication between them.
On the American side, there is a demand for the unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic passage for hydrocarbon trade. The Iranian delegation, consisting of 70 people including a parliamentary representative, has also set preconditions for the success of the negotiations: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the lifting of all international sanctions on the Tehran regime.
“We are ready to maintain the dialogue,” said Vice President JD Vance of the United States, who will lead the negotiations. Despite mutual mistrust, he remains confident in the success of these talks. “We are looking forward to the negotiations. I think it will be positive, we will see. As the president said, if the Iranians are ready to negotiate in good faith, we are ready to maintain the dialogue. If they try to deceive us, then they will find that we are not so receptive,” he declared before arriving in Pakistan.
Another challenge to the success of these negotiations is the absence of Israel. Not being part of these talks, the Israeli state, a key player in the conflict, especially in Lebanon, will not be involved.
