Vance to travel to Pakistan on Tuesday for Iran talks: Report

Pakistan has tightened security as both sides weigh talks that could extend a ceasefire set to expire Wednesday, officials said.

  • Vice President JD Vance will travel to Pakistan on Tuesday to lead the American delegation in second-round peace talks with Iran, though uncertainty persists over whether Tehran will send negotiators.
  • The two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran expires Wednesday, following a failed first round of talks held April 11-12 that ended without breakthrough concessions.
  • Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf asserted Tehran rejects negotiations "under the shadow of threats," citing the U.S. blockade as a barrier to participation.
  • Tensions escalated on Sunday when the U.S. Navy seized an Iranian cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman; Tehran condemned the act as "extremely dangerous" and a ceasefire violation.
  • President Donald Trump said it is "highly unlikely" he would extend the ceasefire if a deal is not reached before Wednesday, maintaining maximum pressure on Iran.
