The U.S. delegation, including Vice President JD Vance, President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner arrived in Pakistan on Saturday for peace talks with Iran. 

The Iranian delegation, led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, has also arrived in Islamabad.

The third round of ceasefire talks ended before dawn on Sunday local time, according to the Associated Press. 

The talks are expected to resume after a break, the AP reported, citing Pakistani officials.

Before departing for Pakistan, Vance cautioned Tehran against attempting to play the United States. 

Hours later, Qalibaf said talks would only move forward if Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Lebanon and blocked Iranian assets are released.

Vance is leading the U.S. side in the high-level discussions.
