US Air Force Jet Approaches Pakistan's Nur Khan Base Ahead Of Talks

A US Air Force transport aircraft with "Charleston" written on its tail was seen approaching the Nur Khan base as Pakistan on Friday as Islamabad prepares to host peace talks between Washington and Tehran.

Uncertainty shrouds the talks in Pakistan between the United States and Iran, with no announcement yet on the arrival of negotiators and both sides accusing the other of failing to properly implement a fragile ceasefire. While US President Donald Trump has voiced displeasure at Iran's handling of the Strait of Hormuz, which was meant to be reopened under the deal, Tehran has reacted angrily to Israeli attacks in Lebanon, insisting that it too falls under the agreement. "The holding of talks to end the war is dependent on the US adhering to its ceasefire commitments on all fronts, especially in Lebanon," said Esmaeil Baqaei, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman.
