Vance leads high-stakes Iran talks

Vice President JD Vance has arrived in Islamabad to spearhead diplomatic efforts to turn a tenuous two-week ceasefire into a lasting peace agreement with Iran.

The delegation includes high-profile figures such as Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff, signaling the administration's focus on a final resolution.

However, the mission is complicated by Tehran's demands for a total cessation of Israeli strikes in Lebanon and the release of frozen assets.

President Trump has warned that warships are being reloaded with ammunition should these peace talks fail to yield immediate results.
