EN VIVO | La delegación de Estados Unidos aterrizó en Islamabad para su negociación con enviados de Irán

La delegación estadounidense encabezada por el vicepresidente JD Vance llegó a Pakistán este sábado para dialogar con funcionarios iraníes, con el objetivo de consolidar un alto al fuego en Medio Oriente y avanzar hacia el fin definitivo de la guerra.
La negociación, donde Pakistán será mediador, enfrenta varios obstáculos, ya que Israel y los terroristas de Hezbollah intercambiaron disparos a lo largo de la frontera sur del Líbano. El régimen terrorista condicionó el inicio de las conversaciones a la implementación de un cese al fuego en ese país y a la liberación de activos bloqueados.
El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, destacó el viernes que “un buen acuerdo contemplaría que Irán no tenga un arma nuclear”: “Es el primer objetivo. No pueden tener armas nucleares, es el 99% de lo que buscamos”.
En Islamabad, las calles están desiertas este sábado en las cercanías al Hotel Serena, sede de las conversaciones, luego de que las fuerzas de seguridad cerraran las carreteras.
A continuación, la cobertura minuto a minuto:
Las FDI continuaron con su ofensiva contra terroristas
El Ejército israelí informó que continúa frustrando lanzamientos hacia el territorio de Israel y difundió nuevos registros de bombardeos contra lanzadores y grupos de personas identificadas como terroristas que efectuaron disparos de cohetes.
En un comunicado anterior, informó que al menos 180 milicianos del grupo terrorista Hezbollah fueron eliminaron en tres áreas simultáneamente, en lo que calificaron como “el ataque más grande en todo Líbano desde el inicio de la operación “El Rugido del León”.
El régimen iraní sostuvo que si EEUU prioriza sus intereses puede cerrarse un acuerdo
Irán afirmó este sábado que, si el vicepresidente de Estados Unidos, JD Vance, prioriza sus propios intereses durante las negociaciones de paz previstas en Islamabad, es “probable” alcanzar un acuerdo “beneficioso para ambas partes y para el mundo”.
“Si negociamos en Islamabad con representantes de ‘Estados Unidos Primero’, es probable alcanzar un acuerdo beneficioso para ambas partes y para el mundo”, escribió en X el vicepresidente primero de Irán, Mohamad Reza Aref, a pocas horas del inicio de las conversaciones.
“Sin embargo, si nos enfrentamos a representantes de ‘Israel Primero’, no habrá acuerdo… inevitablemente continuaremos nuestra defensa con aún más vigor”, añadió.
Las conversaciones que se iniciarían este sábado en Islamabad representan un “momento decisivo” para alcanzar una tregua duradera entre Estados Unidos e Irán, bajo la mediación de Pakistán, según destacó el primer ministro pakistaní, Shehbaz Sharif.
El presidente libanés, Joseph Aoun, anunció el viernes que las negociaciones para un alto el fuego con Israel comenzarán el martes 14 de abril con un encuentro en Washington. El anuncio se produce un día después de que el primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu, ordenara mantener conversaciones de paz con Líbano, aunque reiteró su negativa a una tregua con Hezbollah.
Pakistán expresó su esperanza de que Irán y EEUU “participen de forma constructiva”
El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores pakistaní instó el sábado a Estados Unidos e Irán a “participar de forma constructiva” en las conversaciones que se celebrarán en Islamabad para poner fin a la guerra en Medio Oriente, tras la llegada de ambas delegaciones a la capital.
Ishaq Dar expresó su esperanza y reiteró el deseo de Pakistán de seguir facilitando que las partes alcancen una solución duradera al conflicto, según un comunicado del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores.
La delegación de Irán que llegó a Pakistán está integrada por más de 70 miembros
La delegación iraní en Islamabad está integrada por 71 miembros, según informaron medios iraníes tras su llegada el viernes para preparar las conversaciones con Estados Unidos. El grupo incluye altos funcionarios, negociadores principales, equipos técnicos, representantes de medios de comunicación y personal de apoyo.

Entre los asistentes figuran legisladores y asesores parlamentarios, como Mahmoud Nabavian y Abolfazl Amouei, así como el asesor estratégico Mehdi Mohammadi.
El secretario general de Naciones Unidas, Antonio Guterres, instó el viernes a Estados Unidos e Irán a aprovechar las negociaciones previstas este fin de semana en Islamabad para entablar un diálogo “de buena fe” que permita alcanzar un acuerdo “duradero” y ponga fin definitivo a las hostilidades.
La delegación estadounidense aterrizó en Islamabad
Un avión con los enviados estadounidenses destinados a las conversaciones con Irán aterrizó en Islamabad, Pakistán, según informaron fuentes a Reuters.

La delegación iraní ya se encontraba en la ciudad.
Una fuente paquistaní citada por Reuters señaló que aproximadamente 100 miembros de un equipo de avanzada estadounidense ya estaban presentes en Islamabad. Esta reunión representa el primer encuentro entre ambas partes desde el inicio de la guerra hace más de un mes.
Antes del inicio de las negociaciones, ambas partes establecieron condiciones previas: Irán exige el cese de los ataques israelíes en Líbano, mientras que Estados Unidos manifiesta preocupación por las armas nucleares iraníes y el futuro del tránsito por el estrecho de Ormuz.
Pakistán instaló un centro de prensa de última generación

El gobierno pakistaní instaló un centro de prensa de última generación para facilitar la labor de periodistas locales y extranjeros que cubren las conversaciones entre Estados Unidos e Irán, informó el ministro de Información, Attaullah Tarar.
Tarar señaló que las instalaciones del Centro de Convenciones Jinnah cuentan con internet de alta velocidad y diversos servicios gratuitos para la cobertura mediática.

Sólo 14 buques cruzaron el estrecho de Ormuz desde que se declaró el alto el fuego
La empresa Marine Traffic, con sede en Atenas, informó el viernes que solo 14 buques, de los cuales solo la mitad transportaban carga, cruzaron el estrecho de Ormuz desde la declaración del alto el fuego, según reportó Associated Press.
El grupo publicó en X que los buques que partían del Golfo representaban el 70% del total, y que los buques sancionados o vinculados a flotas paralelas constituían casi dos tercios de todos los cruces. Antes del conflicto, más de 100 barcos transitaban diariamente por el estrecho, la mayoría transportando petróleo con destino a Asia.

Australia’s most decorated living soldier charged amid fierce debate over war crimes allegations

Australian authorities have arrested and charged the country’s most decorated living soldier, Ben Roberts-Smith, 47, with five war crime murders allegedly committed during the war in Afghanistan.
Roberts-Smith, a former member of the Australian Defence Force, was arrested at Sydney Airport on Tuesday. His arrest has sparked outcry from a former Australian prime minister, who argued its unfair to judge the actions of «men in mortal combat by the standards of ordinary civilian life.» X owner Elon Musk also weighed in on the arrest, calling it «insane.»
The Australian Federal Police and the Office of the Special Investigator said Roberts-Smith is being charged in connection with the killings of five unarmed Afghans in three separate incidents between 2009 and 2012. AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett alleged that Roberts-Smith either killed the unarmed Afghans himself or instructed a subordinate to kill them. If convicted, Roberts-Smith faces life imprisonment on each charge.
«It will be alleged the victims were not taking part in hostilities at the time of their alleged murder in Afghanistan,» Barrett said during a press conference. «It will be alleged the victims were detained, unarmed and were under the control of ADF members when they were killed.»

The investigation into Roberts-Smith began in 2021, according to Ross Barnett, director of investigations at the Office of the Special Investigator. Roberts-Smith received the Victoria Cross after storming two enemy machine guns during his fifth tour in Afghanistan.
Barnett said at the press conference that the investigation was «under challenging circumstances,» given that some of the murders occurred well over a decade ago and investigators were unable to visit Afghanistan.
«We don’t have access to the crime scenes, we don’t have photographs, site plans, measurements, the recovery of projectiles, blood spatter analysis, all of those things we would normally get at a crime scene,» Barnett said at the press conference.

While Australia’s current prime minister has yet to weigh in on the arrest, former Australian Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Party Tony Abbott expressed his support for Roberts-Smith on X in a lengthy post.
«If Ben Roberts-Smith transgressed, why wasn’t this picked up prior to his gallantry awards and why wasn’t any culture of brutality towards prisoners detected by his more senior officers, and dealt with quickly, rather than being allowed to fester, as has been alleged, for over a decade?» Abbott wrote.
Allegations that Roberts-Smith engaged in war crimes began circulating publicly in 2017 and 2018 in articles published by The Age, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Canberra Times.
Roberts-Smith filed a defamation suit against the papers, which became Australia’s most expensive defamation trial, but in 2023, a Federal Court judge ruled that four of the six murder allegations brought by the papers against Roberts-Smith were legitimate.
In one of the allegations ruled to have merit by Justice Anthony Besanko, Roberts-Smith allegedly marched a handcuffed Afghan man named Ali Jan off the edge of a 10-meter cliff. He survived the fall, but Roberts-Smith and his fellow soldiers walked down a footpath to meet him. Roberts-Smith then ordered a subordinate, known as Person 11 in court, to shoot him.

The High Court dismissed Roberts-Smith’s appeal of the ruling in September 2025.
The criminal charges against Roberts-Smith stem from a joint effort by OSI and AFP. The two Australian agencies have conducted 53 investigations into ADF members tied to war crime allegations in Afghanistan. Ten of the investigations remain ongoing.

Trump backs Hilton ahead of California GOP vote, testing Bianco’s grip on party endorsement

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
California Republicans this weekend will vote to endorse their pick for California governor in the race to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
The vote, this Sunday in San Diego at the California GOP’s annual convention, comes a week after President Donald Trump took sides between the two major Republican candidates in the race, backing conservative commentator and former Fox News Channel host Steve Hilton over Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco.
Trump, whose endorsements are extremely influential in GOP primaries, argued in his endorsement statement that California had «gone to hell» and that «Steve can turn it around, before it is too late, and, as President, I will help him to do so!»
The president’s support for Hilton is expected to pay immediate dividends at the state GOP convention.

«I think it definitely can help rally the base behind a candidate and generate some noise and some enthusiasm,» California Republican Party chairwoman Corrin Rankin told Fox News Digital.
Bianco is a loyal Trump supporter who has plenty of friends and support among California Republican insiders. But Trump’s endorsement of Hilton, a top adviser to then-British Prime Minister David Cameron a decade and a half ago before moving to the U.S. and becoming an American citizen in 2021, may boost him at the GOP convention, where backing from 60% of delegates is needed to land the party’s endorsement.
But Bianco, the sheriff who recently grabbed plenty of national attention for seizing ballots in Riverside County, appeared defiant.
«For too long, politicians and insiders from Sacramento to Washington have tried to pick our leaders for us. That’s not leadership, that’s a coronation, and it’s exactly how we ended up with the failed leadership Californians are living with today,» he said in a social media video. «This election belongs to the people, not the political class.»

Trump’s endorsement may have another unintended consequence.
Candidates from both major political parties appear on the same ballot in the left-leaning state’s June primary, with the top two finishers advancing to November’s general election.
Some Democrats were concerned that with nine candidates in the race, support among Democratic voters would be so badly divided in the primary that no contender would reach the general election. Hilton and Bianco had been the top two candidates in some public opinion polls, giving some in the GOP hope of a final face-off between two Republicans.
That scenario may be less likely now, as Hilton’s support is expected to rise and Bianco’s drop in light of the president’s endorsement. Polling in the past week gave a hint of a Hilton surge.
«Trump kills any GOP hopes of an R vs R runoff in the California governor’s race,» Rob Pyers of California Target Book, which describes itself as a non-partisan and unbiased political almanac, wrote last week in a social media post.

But Hilton dismissed as a pipe dream talk of shutting out the Democrats from the general election ballot.
«That scenario of two Republicans [making the general election ballot], I’ve been saying this for months, was always a fantasy,» Hilton said on Fox Business’ «The Bottom Line.» «The idea that the Democrat machine in California was just going to hand over the state to two Republicans was never serious. It was never, never going to happen.»
He further argued, «What was more likely was actually…you were going to have two Democrats in the top two and then we’ll have no chance of change. So this really makes sure that we have a Republican in the top two.»

No Republican has won a statewide election in California since then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 2006 re-election victory.
And with the president’s approval rating in California hovering in the 30s, Trump’s endorsement will likely do Hilton no favors if he makes it onto the November ballot.
