Islamabad Talks: US & Iranian Delegations In Pakistan For 'Make Or Break' Peace Talks

All eyes turn to Pakistan this weekend, where landmark talks between the US and Iran carry significant weight for both the people of the Middle East and the broader global economy. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Friday that U.S. and Iranian delegations are set for peace talks in Islamabad at a moment he described as “make or break”. In a televised address to the nation, Sharif said delegations from Iran and the United States are arriving to take part in the talks which he said are aimed at ensuring durable peace in the region. He thanked the leadership of Iran and the United States for agreeing to a ceasefire and holding peace talks at his request. “The cutoff stage is that of a ceasefire for a long-lasting period, and these talks are about resolving complicated issues, and this is the stage that is called in English: ‘make or break’”, he said.
