ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN - APRIL 11: U.S. Vice President JD Vance (2R) talks with Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshall Asim Munir (L), Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Raza Naqvi (C), and Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar after arriving for talks with Iranian officials on April 11, 2026 at Islamabad, Pakistan. The proposed meeting marks a rare direct engagement between senior U.S. and Iranian officials, as Washington and Tehran seek to advance stalled negotiations over Iran's nuclear programme, with Pakistan serving as neutral ground amid persistent tensions between the two countries.
