Claim 1: “The United States and Iran have signaled they will hold a new round of ceasefire talks in Pakistan, two regional officials said Tuesday”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim states that 'two regional officials said Tuesday' that talks were signaled. The provided evidence for this claim consists only of general web search results about the word 'two' and does not contain any reports from regional officials confirming this specific signaling of talks between the US and Iran in Pakistan on a specific Tuesday.

Claim 2: “leaders on both sides warned they were prepared for more fighting if a fragile two-week truce expires without a deal”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim suggests leaders from both sides warned of fighting if a two-week truce expires without a deal. While one web search result mentions a 'two-week ceasefire' (from the evidence for claim 2), there is no independent corroboration or direct evidence confirming that *leaders from both sides* issued a joint warning of renewed fighting under these specific conditions.
