What To Know About the First Day of Peace Talks Between the U.S. and Iran

Summary: The U.S. and Iran are trying to make peace after six weeks of war. Vice President J.D. Vance led a massive 14-hour meeting in Pakistan, but the two sides didn't reach a deal. The biggest argument is over who controls the Strait of Hormuz, a super important waterway for the world's oil. While they talked, President Trump announced the U.S. is already clearing the waterway with warships anyway. Both sides have very different demands, but they agreed to keep trying during a two-week ceasefire.
