Trump sends Iran negotiating team to Pakistan for critical peace talks

Vice President JD Vance will lead U.S. talks with Iran in Pakistan starting April 11, following a ceasefire that offers a potential pathway to lasting peace.

Leavitt emphasized that Trump's firm stance and rhetoric have shaped the current diplomatic landscape, despite concerns over humanitarian impacts.
