US Vice President JD Vance will lead a delegation to Islamabad, Pakistan, for talks with Iran, as confirmed by a White House official. This decision follows President Donald Trump's earlier statement that Vance would not attend due to security concerns. The talks come at a critical time, with a ceasefire in the Middle East set to expire soon. Trump has accused Iran of violating the ceasefire and has threatened military action, including the destruction of Iran's power plants and bridges, if a deal is not reached. The situation escalated over the weekend when Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, following incidents involving attacks on vessels. The US-Iran ceasefire is scheduled to end on Wednesday, heightening the urgency of the negotiations.
