Vance says 'the ball is in Iran's court' to move peace talks further, as U.S. blockade takes effect

The U.S. team led by Vice President Vance, along with special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, said it made progress with Iran during talks in Islamabad. The development is diplomatically constructive but lacks specifics on any agreement, timeline, or policy shift. Market impact is likely limited unless the переговорs lead to concrete easing of tensions or changes in sanctions risk.
