BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance’s trip to Islamabad for a second round of talks with Iran has been put on hold after Tehran failed to respond to American negotiating positions.

•⁠ ⁠Vance had been scheduled to depart Tuesday morning for Pakistan, where talks were set to resume Wednesday — the same day the fragile ceasefire is due to expire.

•⁠ ⁠The trip has not been canceled and talks could resume at a moment’s notice, but the diplomatic process is effectively paused without an Iranian response.

•⁠ ⁠Iran’s Foreign Ministry said it had not yet decided whether to attend talks in Pakistan.
