The start of the meeting represents a major test as to whether the ceasefire, which has already shown strains, is durable enough to resolve the Iran war. Iranian state TV says Tehran's delegation has set out its red lines to Pakistan's Prime Minister, adding that these included control over the Strait of Hormuz, the release of Iran's blocked assets, the payment of war reparations and a regional ceasefire. While Trump said the US would attack Iran using "the best weapons ever made" if peace talks in Pakistan fail this weekend and promised "complete decimation".
