US Vice President Vance heads to Pakistan for Iran nuclear negotiations
US Vice President JD Vance departed for Islamabad on April 10, 2026, to lead diplomatic talks aimed at resolving the Iran conflict, stating that President Trump has provided "clear guidelines" for the negotiations. Vance expressed optimism about the talks, calling them potentially "positive" as the US attempts to broker a diplomatic resolution to ongoing regional tensions. The move represents a significant diplomatic engagement between the Trump administration and Iran, conducted through Pakistani intermediation, signaling a potential shift in US Middle East policy. This follows months of escalating tensions and reflects renewed efforts to de-escalate through direct negotiation rather than military confrontation.
