US Vice President JD Vance Departs for Pakistan for Iran Peace Talks

Speaking before his departure, Vice President Vance expressed hope for a "positive" outcome but maintained a firm stance toward Tehran. "The US delegation is looking forward to the talks, but the progress depends entirely on Iran’s attitude," Vance stated. He warned that while Washington is ready for constructive dialogue, any attempt at "manipulation" by the Iranian side would result in a swift cooling of diplomatic interest.

According to DRM News, Vance emphasized that the team is operating under "clear instructions" from President Trump. As Islamabad prepares for this historic encounter, the world watches to see if this summit can de-escalate the rising tensions in the Middle East or if the diplomatic divide remains unbridgeable.
