        "summary": "US Vice President JD Vance is set to lead a delegation, including special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to Islamabad for talks with Iran aimed at resolving the escalating Middle East conflict before the impending ceasefire expires. This follows President Donald Trump's initial announcement that Vance would not travel due to security concerns, which was quickly contradicted by White House officials. The negotiations come amid Iranian violations, including attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump threatening severe retaliation if no deal is reached, highlighting the high stakes for regional stability.",
        "content": "<p>US Vice President JD Vance will lead the US delegation for talks with\nIran in Pakistan. This White House statement comes shortly after\nPresident Donald Trump said Vance would not make the trip. According to\nAFP on Monday (20\/4\/2026), Trump announced that he would send\nnegotiators to Islamabad for a meeting with Tehran to end the conflict\nraging in the Middle East, with the ceasefire set to expire soon.\nHowever, Trump said Vance\u2014who led the last round of talks with Tehran in\nIslamabad but yielded no agreement\u2014would not make the trip, citing\nsecurity concerns. \u201cIt\u2019s just a security issue,\u201d Trump told ABC News.\n\u201cJD is great.\u201d But the White House quickly changed that statement when\nasked about the comment. Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Trump\u2019s\nson-in-law, Jared Kushner, will attend the talks, a White House official\ntold AFP on condition of anonymity. All three were present at the last\nmeeting on 11-12 April. Previously, Trump accused Iran of a \u201ctotal\nviolation\u201d of the two-week ceasefire between the two countries with\nattacks in the Strait of Hormuz\u2014and threatened to destroy power plants\nand bridges if no agreement is reached. Trump wrote on his Truth Social\nplatform that he offered Iran a \u201creasonable deal\u201d and if Tehran rejects\nit, \u201cthe United States will destroy every power plant, and every bridge,\nin Iran. No more good guys!\u201d \u201cThey will come down fast, they will come\ndown easy and, if they do not accept the deal, it will be my honour to\ndo what must be done, which should have been done to Iran, by other\nPresidents, over the last 47 years,\u201d he wrote. Washington\u2019s UN envoy,\nMike Waltz, told ABC News that he believes this new round of talks will\nproduce \u201cvery important\u201d results. The Strait of Hormuz remained closed\non Sunday (12\/4) amid the deadlock. Iran reaffirmed its closure to\nshipping\u2014a day after saying it would reopen the strategic waterway. A\nBritish maritime security agency said Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard had\nfired on a tanker on Saturday (18\/4), while security intelligence firm\nVanguard Tech reported that the forces threatened to \u201cdestroy\u201d an empty\ncruise ship that fled the Gulf. In a third incident, the British agency\nsaid it had received reports of a ship \u201cstruck by an unknown projectile,\ncausing damage\u201d to a shipping container but no fire. The US-Iran\nceasefire is scheduled to end on Wednesday (22\/4).<\/p>",
