U.S. Vice President JD Vance will lead delegation to Pakistan for Iran ceasefire talks starting Saturday, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
Vance dismissed Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf's claims of three violated ceasefire clauses as misunderstandings, noting no formal Lebanon inclusion.
He reaffirmed unchanged U.S. stance on Iran enrichment, warning of consequences and no sanctions relief if Iran pursues nuclear weapons.
Vance noted early signs of Strait of Hormuz reopening and said U.S. position on Iran remains strong despite potential negotiation setbacks.
