Washington, Apr 21 (V7N) — J. D. Vance is expected to depart for Pakistan today to participate in a new round of diplomatic talks related to the ongoing Iran crisis, according to reports from CNN.

High-level US delegation

Sources cited by CNN said the vice president will be accompanied by senior US officials for discussions involving the conflict between the United States and Iran.

The second round of talks between US and Iranian delegations is reportedly scheduled for Wednesday in Islamabad, though the situation remains uncertain due to conflicting statements from both sides.

White House response

The White House told CNN that the exact schedule of the visit has not yet been officially confirmed, but preparations for departure are underway.

Ceasefire deadline approaching

The diplomatic push comes as the ceasefire period announced by US President Donald Trump is set to expire on Wednesday evening. Trump has stated that the likelihood of extending the ceasefire is “very low” without a breakthrough agreement.

Uncertain outlook

With tensions still high and negotiations in flux, the upcoming talks in Islamabad are being viewed as a critical last attempt to prevent further escalation in the region.
