A United States delegation led by Vice President JD Vance is set to arrive in Pakistan on Monday evening for a second round of discussions with Iran. President Donald Trump announced the visit, stating that the delegation would reach Islamabad to continue diplomatic efforts. The White House later confirmed Vance’s leadership of the team.

According to a White House official cited by the BBC, the delegation includes Trump’s adviser Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, both of whom participated in the previous round of talks. However, Iran has not yet confirmed its participation. Iranian state media reported that officials would not attend while US sanctions remain in place.

The first round of talks between Washington and Tehran failed to produce a peace agreement, with major differences persisting over Iran’s nuclear program and other key issues.
