US-Iran ceasefire
US President Donald Trump has assigned a key but previously hesitant member of his inner circle to help bring an end to the six-week conflict with Iran, while also attempting to dial back his own dramatic warning about destroying the country’s “entire civilization.”
JD Vance, the vice president, known for his scepticism toward foreign military interventions and prolonged troop deployments, is set to travel to Islamabad on Friday to lead mediated negotiations with Iran aimed at resolving the conflict.
JD Vance, who served in the Iraq War as a Marine and later spent two years as a U.S. senator and just over a year as vice president, has limited experience in diplomacy.
