Vance Heads To Pakistan For Iran War Negotiations

What happens? We’ll see. Because Iran wanted Vance as the negotiator

Iran wanted to negotiate with Vance. They got their wish

When JD Vance arrives in Islamabad for talks on Saturday with Iranian officials, it will fulfill a wish for ?Tehran’s remaining leaders, some of whom have quietly sought the U.S. vice president to take a lead role in negotiations to end the war, according to several sources familiar with the matter.

Iran ?views Vance as one of the most anti-war figures in President Donald Trump’s inner circle, said one regional official and four people familiar with the talks.

That reputation, long a fixture of his political brand, has led Tehran to believe Vance is the most likely among Trump’s close associates to seek a deal in good faith, said the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive diplomatic matters.

There is no indication Vance would adopt a more accommodating negotiating stance than any other representative sent by Trump, who has threatened to renew the ?U.S. bombing campaign if talks fail.

Trump certainly doesn’t want war, but, he certainly doesn’t want a nuclear armed Iran. And he’s of an age where he remembers 1979, and the start of the Islamic jihadism in Iran, the hatred of Israel and the U.S., the start of the killings and terrorism and abuse of Iran’s citizens

Vance arrives in Pakistan for talks with Iranian officials to shore up shaky cease-fire

A US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance arrived in Pakistan on Saturday for high-level talks with Iranian representatives, the first such meeting since the war began more than a month ago that will test whether they can shore up a fragile cease-fire and pave the way for peace.

The cease-fire brokered by Pakistan still faces hurdles in the talks beginning Saturday, as Israel and Hezbollah militants have traded fire along the border of southern Lebanon and Iran has set conditions before negotiations can begin.

The Iranian delegation arrived early Saturday in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad, led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, who said on X that discussions will only take place if there is an Israeli cease-fire in Lebanon and the release of blocked Iranian assets.

President Trump has posted repeatedly about the negotiations on social media, saying Iranian officials “have no cards.”

He accused them of using the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global energy supplies, for extortion.

That is Iran’s only card remaining in the deck, other than their support of terrorist groups like Hamas, the Houthis, and, Hezbollah in Lebanon. Stop pushing the terrorism, stop attacking the US and Israel, stop trying to get a nuclear weapon. Open up your society, stop treating women as 2nd class citizens and chattel, and everything could get much better for Iran.

And now we wait to see what happens, if Iran will be reasonable. And if Democrats want Iran to come out on top, simply because they hate Trump to the point of taking Iran’s side.
