US President Donald Trump on Friday shared a cryptic post hours ahead of a meeting between Vice President JD Vance-led team and Iranian delegation in Pakistan.
“World’s most powerful reset,” Trump’s social media post read.
JD Vance along with a high-level American delegation
left for Pakistan on Friday for talks aimed at initiating peace talks with Iran, expressing measured optimism ahead of a potentially defining diplomatic moment.“We’re looking forward to the negotiation. I think it’s going to be positive,” Vance said ahead of the departure. “Trump gave us some pretty clear guidelines on negotiations.”
On Thursday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the delegation included President Trump’s “right-hand man”, Special Envoy Steve
Witkoff, and Senior Advisor to the President Jared Kushner.
As per the reports, Iran is said to prefer Vance to lead negotiations on behalf of the US, accusing Witkoff and Kushner of misrepresenting Tehran’s positions. Vance is also one of the only administration officials who is reported to have opposed launching the war against Iran.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said negotiations with the US cannot begin. “Two of the measures mutually agreed upon between the parties have yet to be implemented: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Iran’s blocked assets prior to the commencement of negotiations,” wrote Ghalibaf in a post on X. “These two matters must be fulfilled before negotiations begin.”
Tasnim News Agency quoted Central Headquarters of Hazrat Khatam al-Anbiya saying that Iran’s Armed Forces have their “fingers on the trigger” over repeated “breaches of trust” by the US and Israel.
