Face-to-face negotiations between Iran and the United States are expected to last well into the night and possibly even stretch into Sunday, a Pakistani source told CNN.

Pakistan has sent fighter jets and other military forces to Saudi Arabia to boost regional security under a defence pact between the two countries, known as the Joint Strategic Defense Agreement, the Saudi Ministry of Defense announced Saturday, with a number of strike fighters and support aircraft having arrived at King Abdulaziz Air Base in the east of the country near the Persian Gulf. This comes as Islamabad hosts talks between Iran and the United States aimed at ending the ongoing Iran War.

Following reports that the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office had sent an indictment to courts over Israel’s blockage of a flotilla to the Gaza Strip last year, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at the leader of the Anatolian nation, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, lambasting Turkey’s treatment of Kurdish people within its borders and accusing the nation of supporting the Islamic regime in Iran.

The Kuwaiti Ministry of the Interior has said that they foiled a terror financing plot involving 24 apprehended Kuwaiti citizens and 8 still abroad to fund terrorist entities and launder money for the furtherance of this effort. Per the release, both commercial and professional entities were involved in the plot supporting Iran.

It is now well past 1:00AM on Sunday and face-to-face peace talks between Iran and the United States, mediated by Pakistan, are still underway at the Serena Hotel in the capital of Islamabad.

Pakistani sources tell CNN that the overall tone and outcome of talks so far between Iran and the United States in Islamabad has remained largely positive, but that a stalemate persists over control of the Strait of Hormuz.

In an official statement early Sunday published by Iran's state-run media broadcaster IRIB, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGC-N) warned that any attempt by military vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz would be met with a “firm and forceful response,” adding that it maintains full control over the strategic strait located between the Iran and Oman. This follows reports that two warships with the U.S. Navy transited the strait earlier today in a freedom-of-navigation operation, completing their mission before withdrawing back to the Arabian Sea.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has said that no deal was made during the 21+ hours of negotiations, saying “we could just not get to a situation where the Iranians were willing to accept our terms.” He restated that the Iranians were unwilling to shift left or right on key U.S. demands, including their nuclear program.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that “We leave here with a very simple proposal. A method of understanding that is our final and best offer.” It now appears that the talks have concluded after failing to merit any form of U.S.-Iranian convergence on positions.

Despite direct support from U.S. Vice President JD Vance and the Trump Administration, almost all polls show Viktor Orbán significantly losing his upcoming bid for Prime Minister of Hungary, with traders on Polymarket pitting his chances at less than 30%.
