JD Vance travels to Pakistan for US-led peace talks with Iran

US Senator JD Vance has arrived in Islamabad, Pakistan, to lead high-stakes peace talks between the United States and Iran. The talks, described as pivotal, aim to negotiate a ceasefire, with Vance warning Iran not to 'play' the US in the negotiations.

Vance, who was once a critic of such diplomatic engagements, has now been tasked by President Donald Trump to spearhead this effort. The Iranian delegation has also arrived in Islamabad for the discussions, which are seen as a fraught and risky diplomatic mission.
