Trump’s remarks come at a time when high-level diplomatic talks between US and Iran are underway in Islamabad, where delegations from the both countries have arrived for critical discussions aimed at addressing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
At the core of the talks are two competing frameworks: a 10-point proposal from Iran and a broader 15-point plan from the US, reflecting deep differences despite a willingness to engage.
