U.S. and Iran Officials Meet as Fragile Ceasefire Holds
Top officials from the United States and Iran held direct talks on Saturday. The meeting took place in Pakistan. It comes just days after the two sides agreed to a fragile, two-week ceasefire. That pause in fighting followed six weeks of war. The conflict has already resulted in thousands of deaths. It has also caused instability in global markets. The face-to-face negotiations mark a critical test of the new ceasefire agreement.
