Vice President JD Vance has delayed a planned trip to Islamabad, where he was expected to lead a U.S. delegation in talks with Iran. Instead of departing, Vance returned to Washington for meetings at the White House, as uncertainty continues over whether Iranian officials will participate in the مذاکرات.
The proposed talks in Islamabad were intended to revive negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program and regional tensions. Vance had previously traveled to Pakistan alongside envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner, but those earlier discussions did not produce an agreement. U.S. officials have said a key sticking point remains Iran’s refusal to commit to abandoning nuclear weapons development.
