JD Vance warns Iran 'don't play us' ahead of Pakistan negotiations
Vice President JD Vance left for Pakistan on Friday to hold talks with Iran on Saturday. He warned Iran not to 'play us' during the negotiations in Islamabad. Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff will join the talks.
Vice President JD Vance departed Friday for high-stakes negotiations with Iranian representatives set for Saturday in Islamabad, Pakistan. He'll be joined by Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff for the talks.
Before leaving, Vance told reporters he hoped for a 'positive' outcome but issued a stern warning to Tehran. 'If they're gonna try and play us, then they're gonna find that the negotiating team is not that receptive,' he said.
Vance revealed that President Trump gave the team 'some pretty clear guidelines' for how the talks should proceed, though he didn't share details about those instructions.
The in-person meeting represents a significant diplomatic moment between the US and Iran. The choice of Pakistan as the meeting location suggests neutral ground for the sensitive discussions.
These face-to-face talks could affect Middle East tensions and potential conflicts involving Iran. The outcome may impact gas prices, global security, and whether the US gets pulled into new military actions abroad.
Watch for results from Saturday's talks in Islamabad and any statements from both sides afterward.
