US Vice President JD Vance departed for Pakistan on April 10, 2026, to lead talks aimed at ending the US-Israeli war with Iran. The negotiations, scheduled for the following day in Islamabad, are intended to build on previous indirect talks regarding Iran's nuclear program. Vance stated he expects "positive" results if Iran negotiates in good faith, citing "pretty clear guidelines" from President Trump. Some observers believe Vance's appointment signals Iran's preference for him over other US envoys, such as Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who will still be in attendance. Vance, while loyal to Trump, is considered less hawkish and representative of the anti-interventionist wing of the MAGA movement.
