VP Vance's visit to Islamabad postponed

Vice President Vance's planned visit to Islamabad, Pakistan, has been postponed, The New York Times (NYT) reported, citing a U.S. official. The outlet noted that the delay was caused by the Iranian leadership's indecision on attending a second round of peace talks. Iran is reportedly delaying its decision amid internal opposition arguing that talks cannot proceed while a U.S. naval blockade remains in effect. U.S. President Donald Trump has made it clear that the ceasefire deadline will not be extended and has previously stated his readiness to take military action if an agreement fails.
