A delegation from the United States, led by Vice President JD Vance, is set to engage in peace talks with Iran in Islamabad, Pakistan, scheduled for Saturday. The team also includes Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law. The discussions come shortly after a ceasefire agreement was reached between the US, Israel, and Iran, aimed at halting hostilities in West Asia that escalated in late February. During a press briefing, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized Vance's crucial role in the negotiations, stating he has been integral to all discussions. The Iranian delegation will be headed by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. The US negotiators are tasked with merging the ceasefire proposals from both nations into a comprehensive agreement. However, the US maintains its firm stance on the cessation of uranium enrichment in Iran, a key condition for any agreement.
