Vice President JD Vance heads to Islamabad, Pakistan, for negotiations with Iran amid the two-week ceasefire, marking a major moment for the 41-year-old vice president and the administration as a whole.
Vance departed Joint Base Andrew aboard Air Force One on Friday morning, speaking briefly to reporters before boarding the plane. Vance was optimistic that the negotiations this weekend would be positive.
“As the president of the United States said, if the Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith, we’re certainly willing to extend the open hand. If they’re going to try to play us, then they’re going to find that the negotiating team is not that receptive,” he said.
“So we’re going to try to have a positive negotiation. The president gave us some pretty clear guidelines, and we’re gonna see,” he added.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced on Wednesday that Vance would lead the negotiations, accompanied by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Leavitt said discussions are set to begin Saturday morning, local time.
Trump announced the two-week ceasefire on Tuesday, and Leavitt stressed it is conditional on the Strait of Hormuz’s “free, safe, and immediate reopening.”
“I think the president was very clear and simplistic in his language last night, in his Truth Social post, where he said that this ceasefire is subject to the free, safe, and immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. That’s very plain language, and it should be taken at face value,” she said.

Hope Tier 1s have his back because I don’t trust Secret Service
At least they have enough sense not to go to Iran.
A waste of time and jet fuel
His safety is more important than the talks. I don’t trust the people who hid Bin Ladin.
I’m expecting more “misunderstanding” under a new ceasefire, in which Iran continues to attack.
Correct - unless the President is on board it cannot be “Air Force One.”
Father, in the Name of Jesus, I ask that you protect VP Vance and the others from any harm the enemy may want to inflict. Amen.
There is no way I would go to the country that housed Bin Laden. You know those clowns are just dying to blow up that building.
Brave Sir Robin, off to negotiate with the Knights that say “Ni”!
Me either, but I'm trying to decide if he could be safer there than here with the socialist dem crazies.
don’t forget to bring backpacking Barry to Pock-e-ston
he knows the ropes
Good luck to you, JD. Pick your own pace as much as is possible and get your rest. You are a politician, not a magician.
Is Mrs. Vance with him? I would suspect not, her being pregnant and the young children already here.
“Father, in the Name of Jesus, I ask that you protect VP Vance and the others from any harm the enemy may want to inflict. Amen.”
AMEN! Thank you! I just came here to pray as well!
Amen!! 🙏
No nukes for Iran.
Inspectors allowed access to all nuclear sites.
I bet the people who hid Osama did it at the behest of the CIA.
As we speak, Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz.
How can they negotiate in good faith?
I support the mission and although the challenges are many, I'm optimistic for a favorable (perhaps not perfect) outcome. (If, that is, the bad guys engage at all.)
