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

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

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 set to lead the U.S. side in the high-level discussions, as Iran signals what appear to be new preconditions ahead of the talks.
