Pakistan is mediating as both sides seek to restart talks after a failed first round, with Vice President JD Vance on standby, officials said.
- Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are traveling to Pakistan on Saturday to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for renewed peace talks, the White House confirmed Friday.

- While White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the Iranians requested the meeting, Iranian state media asserts no official talks are scheduled between the two sides.
- Vice President J.D. Vance remains on standby in the U.S. to join negotiations if talks progress, signaling the administration's commitment to achieving a diplomatic resolution.
