Trump Directs JD Vance to Secure Diplomatic Exit from Iran Conflict
President Trump has instructed Vice President J.D. Vance to pursue a diplomatic path out of the escalating stand-off with Iran. This announcement comes as the administration’s peace delegation prepares to depart for Islamabad. Vance, regarded as one of the more cautious voices on military intervention, will lead talks aimed at stabilising a fragile ceasefire and preventing a wider regional escalation. He will be joined by special envoy Steve Witkoff and senior adviser Jared Kushner, who both have prior experience in indirect negotiations with Iranian officials. The Islamabad discussions follow a two-week ceasefire that remains precarious, with public demands from Tehran still at odds with conditions set by the United States and Israel. Trump’s directive highlights the administration’s urgent goal: ending U.S. involvement without compromising core security objectives. At the same time, Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir has stressed that Israel is ready to resume operations if needed. UK officials also dismissed reports that Trump threatened NATO over maritime patrols, reaffirming their support is limited to ally defence and safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
