US Vice President J D Vance is likely to travel to Islamabad on Tuesday for peace talks with Iran to end the seven-week war, according to a media report.
With the two-week ceasefire, agreed to between the US and Iran on April 8, ending amid threats by US President Donald Trump to bomb bridges and power plants in Iran if both sides fail to reach a deal, Vance is expected to reach Islamabad late Tuesday.
American news outlet Axios reported, quoting three US sources, that Vice President Vance is expected to depart for Islamabad by Tuesday morning for talks with Iran over a potential deal to end the war.
Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to join Vance.
The fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran was tested once again on Sunday when a US guided-missile destroyer fired on and seized an Iranian cargo ship after it tried to get past the US naval blockade in the Gulf of Oman, further angering the Iranians.
