Latest on fragile ceasefire between US and Iran; Vance heads to Pakistan for peace talks; Iranian Speaker wants ceasefire in Lebanon before negotiations begin

US Vice President JD Vance has warned Tehran not to “play” the US as he departed for Islamabad for negotiations aimed at ending the war with Iran.

“We’re looking forward to the negotiation. I think it’s gonna be positive. We’ll, of course, see,” Vance said as he boarded Air Force Two on his way to Pakistan.

“As President Trump said, if the Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith, we’re certainly willing to extend the open hand.”

“If they’re gonna try to play us, then they’re gonna find that the negotiating team is not that receptive.”
