Vance leads high-stakes Iran talks

Vice President JD Vance is entering his highest-profile diplomatic moment as he leads a U.S. delegation to Pakistan for face-to-face talks with Iranian officials.

The mission seeks to transition a precarious two-week truce into a lasting peace agreement following six weeks of devastating conflict.

Tensions remain high as President Trump accuses Tehran of failing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran demands a cessation of Israeli strikes in Lebanon.

The delegation includes special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, signaling the administration's intent to secure a definitive resolution.
