US Vice President JD Vance has taken on a crucial role in negotiations to bring about a ceasefire between the US and Iran, despite initially opposing the war.
Vance, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, led talks that resulted in a temporary two-week ceasefire, brokered by Pakistan, just before a deadline set by US President Donald Trump.
Iran appeared more open to engaging with Vance due to his earlier hesitation about the war and his support for diplomacy.
Vance described the agreement as a 'fragile truce' and warned that progress depends on how Iran responds, with the US expecting honesty from both sides.
