The White House has confirmed that the negotiations between the US and Iran currently under way in Islamabad are happening face to face.
The meeting today marks the highest-level direct engagement between Washington and Tehran in decades. The core US delegation is led by Vice-President JD Vance, alongside special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, supported by senior advisers including Dr Andrew Baker and Michael Vance.
This high-stakes diplomatic summit, facilitated by Pakistani prime minister Shehbaz Sharif and chief of army staff Asim Munir, aims to secure a peace agreement to end the weeks-long conflict.
The White House also confirmed that a “full suite of US experts on relevant subject areas are present in Islamabad” and “additional experts are supporting from Washington.”
