United States Vice President JD Vance will travel to Islamabad, Pakistan, later this week to lead a delegation for peace talks with Iran, as announced by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The delegation also includes Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump. The discussions are set to begin on Saturday morning and aim to establish a sustained peace agreement following recent tensions. Vance emphasized the urgency for Iran to take the 'next step' towards peace, warning that President Trump has options to escalate military action if necessary. This announcement follows a ceasefire between the US and Iran that was violated shortly after it was declared, with Iran accusing the US of continuing hostilities through Israel. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the US must choose between maintaining peace or continuing the conflict. Meanwhile, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called for restraint and respect for the ceasefire terms, as he prepares to host the talks.
