US Vice President JD Vance is reportedly gearing up for a key role in negotiations with Iran to end the ongoing war, speaking to Pakistani intermediaries and delivering a stern message that President Donald Trump is impatient and open to a ceasefire.
Pakistan has emerged as a potential venue for talks, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif offering to host a dialogue.
Vance is being seen as a possible successor to Trump and is reportedly preferred by Iran for talks, with Iranian representatives citing a deep deficit of trust with other US officials.
Trump's latest threats toward Iran have sparked concerns of further escalation, with oil prices spiking after his prime-time address to the nation.
