JD Vance Warns Iran Not to Play US During Planned Talks in Pakistan

Vance said the United States is open to constructive engagement if Iran negotiates in good faith, as the White House gave few details.

  • Vice President Vance departed for Islamabad, Pakistan on Friday to lead mediated peace talks with Iran, aiming to resolve the conflict that began six weeks ago.
  • President Donald Trump tasked Vance with finding a resolution to avoid his threat to wipe out Iran's "whole civilisation." Vance is known as skeptical of foreign military interventions.
  • Joining Vance are special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who previously held indirect talks regarding Iran's nuclear programs and proxy support before Feb 28.
  • Vance expressed optimism, stating, "If the Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith, we're certainly willing to extend the open hand." He warned they will not be receptive if played.
  • The White House has provided scant detail about whether talks will be direct or indirect, as a tenuous ceasefire appears to be on the verge of collapsing.
