Iran's state media says talks with the US ‘over for now' as fears of direct conflict continue
Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson did not give any indication of when the talks might resume
www.theguardian.comI don’t have live updates right this moment, but here’s a concise snapshot of the situation based on recent reporting:
- US-Iran peace talks have been unfolding with high-level delegations engaging in Islamabad, Oman, and other mediation venues, while Iran has alternately signaled willingness and reluctance to participate depending on stated conditions.[2][3][6]
- Key sticking points frequently cited include tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, verification and monitoring over uranium enrichment, and broader regional security guarantees; progress has been described as mixed, with some rounds labeled as “good starts” and others as deadlocks or conditional suspensions.[3][4][5]
- The latest live coverage around mid-April 2026 highlighted competing narratives: the US presenting its delegation as ready to negotiate in Pakistan, while Iran sometimes signaling that talks would proceed only if certain demands are met or may skip rounds when conditions aren’t satisfactory.[5][2][3]
If you’d like, I can:
- Narrow to the most recent 24–48 hours and pull the latest headlines.
- Provide a quick, sourced timeline of the major negotiation milestones this year.
- Summarize what each side has publicly stated as criteria for resuming talks.
Would you like me to focus on any particular outlet or region (e.g., official statements, major broadcasters, or Middle East-focused outlets) for the latest updates?
