Vice President JD Vance's Diplomatic Challenge in Pakistan Amid Iran War
- Vice President JD Vance is leading U.S. negotiations in Pakistan to maintain a fragile ceasefire with Iran, joined by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
- The talks come after a recent U.S. military campaign and a two-week ceasefire announced by President Trump, which Iran has tentatively accepted but warns could collapse.
- Both sides remain deeply divided, with Iran tying the ceasefire's success to developments in Lebanon, complicating the negotiations.
