WASHINGTON, April 19 — U.S. Vice President JD Vance is expected to travel to Pakistan for talks related to tensions with Iran, a White House official said on Sunday, as Washington pushes to revive stalled diplomacy.
The visit would come as part of a broader U.S. effort to engage intermediaries and prevent further escalation following recent confrontations in the Gulf region. Pakistan has positioned itself as a potential facilitator for dialogue between Washington and Tehran.
Details of the trip, including timing and the scope of meetings, were not immediately clear. It also remained uncertain whether JD Vance would lead the delegation or be joined by other senior officials.
The White House has not publicly outlined specific objectives, but officials say the discussions are expected to focus on de-escalation and possible pathways toward renewed negotiations.
Tensions between the United States and Iran have risen in recent weeks, raising concerns among regional powers about the risk of a wider conflict.
