Vance to Lead US Negotiations With Iran in Pakistan Saturday

The talks will focus on ceasefire terms and sanctions relief as tensions rise over Iran’s demands and the Strait of Hormuz, officials said.

  • On Saturday, Vice President JD Vance will lead a U.S. delegation to Islamabad, Pakistan, including Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, for in-person negotiations aimed at stabilizing the fragile two-week ceasefire with Iran.
  • President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire on Tuesday after threatening Iran's 'whole civilization' would be destroyed if Tehran failed to reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz to global shipping.
  • Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt rejected Iran's initial 10-point plan as 'fundamentally unserious' and 'literally thrown in the garbage,' though Iran claims victory and disputes whether Lebanon is covered by the truce.
  • The White House demands the Strait of Hormuz be 'reopened immediately, quickly and safely,' dismissing Iranian state media reports of closure as 'false' despite conflicting traffic data and regional uncertainty.
  • These Islamabad talks represent the highest-level direct engagement between the U.S. and Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution, making this a pivotal moment where successful diplomacy could de-escalate tensions or trigger renewed military conflict.
