Axios: Vance travels to Pakistan on Tuesday for Iran talks

21-04-2026 08:33 AM


Ammon News - US Vice President JD Vance is expected to depart for Islamabad by Tuesday morning for talks with Iran over a potential deal to end the war, three U.S. sources tell Axios.

Vance will arrive in Pakistan with the ceasefire on the verge expiring. President Trump has threatened to launch a new bombing campaign on Iranian bridges and power plants if a deal can't be reached.

While a full-scale deal on such a tight timeline would be difficult, Trump could also agree to extend the deadline if there are signs of progress.

Trump already effectively added a day. While the two weeks agreed in the ceasefire will run out on Tuesday, he said on Monday that the deadline was Wednesday evening.

The White House spent all of Monday waiting for a signal from Tehran that it would send its negotiating team to Islamabad.

The Pakistani, Egyptian and Turkish mediators urged the Iranians to come to the meeting.

The Iranian team waited for a green light from the supreme leader. It came on Monday night, according to the source.

Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are also expected to travel to Islamabad for the talks.
