In a diplomatic push to resolve the ongoing US-Iran conflict, Vice President J D Vance is expected to travel to Islamabad. The move comes as tensions rise, with the current ceasefire agreement nearing expiration.
US President Donald Trump has extended the ceasefire by a day, expressing confidence in reaching a better deal than previous administrations. The talks, set against the backdrop of increased military activity, will include participation from key American negotiators like Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
The Iranian delegation, led by Parliament Speaker Mohammed-Bagher Ghalibaf, reportedly faces internal pressure to maintain a hard stance during negotiations. The stakes are high, with potential impacts on international relations and global energy markets.
