“Iran and U.S. representatives are expected to meet in Islamabad on Friday, April 10, for high-level talks after a two-week ceasefire was reached.”
DISPUTED
The claim specifies a meeting date of 'Friday, April 10' and a context of a 'two-week ceasefire.' The provided Wikipedia evidence discusses negotiations starting on 'April 12, 2025,' and mentions a 'two-month (60 day) deadline' set by Donald Trump, but it does not mention any meeting scheduled for 'Friday, April 10' following a 'two-week ceasefire.' The dates and specific conditions in the claim are not supported by the evidence.
