Vance likely to lead potential 2nd round of talks with Iran: Report

US Vice President JD Vance is likely to lead a potential second round of talks with Iranian officials, CNN reported on Wednesday.

Vance is “expected to lead another round of negotiations with Iranian officials, should a meeting happen before the ceasefire expires next week,” CNN reported, citing sources.

The first round of talks was held in the Pakistani capital Islamabad over the weekend to permanently end the US-Israeli war on Iran that began on Feb. 28, but an agreement could not be reached. Efforts to hold another round of talks are underway.

Pakistan brokered a two-week ceasefire on April 8, which is still holding.

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump suggested that talks could resume in Pakistan in the next two days.

Both the US and Iran have reportedly proposed a suspension in Iranian uranium enrichment, but cannot settle on a timeframe.

The US also wants the dismantling of Iran’s major nuclear enrichment facilities and the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
