A planned visit by Vice President JD Vance to Islamabad for potential ceasefire discussions with Iran has been put on hold, a U.S. official revealed on condition of anonymity.

President Trump could change his stance at any moment, raising uncertainty about the next steps in the diplomatic effort. Originally meant to bolster peace negotiations, the trip's cancellation leaves the situation in limbo.

Additionally, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and advisor Jared Kushner plan to convene in Washington for strategizing. If the current ceasefire lapses without further dialogues, alternative measures could be considered, short of resuming airstrikes.
