US-Iran Talks in Islamabad: Trump Threatens to

The US and Iran are negotiating in Islamabad, Pakistan, with a two-week ceasefire set to expire Wednesday, April 23.

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are leading talks aimed at dismantling Iran's nuclear programme and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump posted on social media threatening to destroy "every single power plant and every single bridge" in Iran if a deal isn't reached, language that drew international concern.

The Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil shipping lane remained closed Sunday after Iran declared it shut again, despite briefly reopening a day earlier.

Three incidents were reported in the Strait on Saturday, including Iranian forces firing at a tanker and threatening a cruise ship.

Iran's delegation includes Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Tehran hopes for a joint statement extending the ceasefire on Wednesday.
