Iran Talks to Resume Without Vance
Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff will lead the U.S. team after the last round broke down in less than a day, officials said.
- Traveling to Islamabad, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy to the Middle East, are leading peace talks with Iran, while Vice President JD Vance remains in the United States.
- President Donald Trump continues the U.S. naval blockade around Iranian ports to exert economic pressure, stating in the Oval Office he maintains control to ensure Iran makes a deal as gas prices rose above $4.
- Analysts estimate the blockade costs Iran $400 million daily, though Iranian Ministry for Foreign Affairs spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei denied meeting plans, stating, "No meeting is planned to take place between Iran and the US."
- JD Vance was excluded following criticism during previous negotiations when he and Secretary of State Marco Rubio attended a UFC event, though White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the president remains willing to give diplomacy a chance.
- Republican Senator Roger Wicker called for an end to negotiations, urging military leaders to "finish destroying Iran's conventional military capabilities," as it remains unclear when American and Iranian negotiators will meet again.
