US Vice President J.D. Vance signals progress in Iran talks, highlights Pakistan's crucial role

US Vice President J.D. Vance pushed back on reports of a 10-point deal, saying Washington is working from a 15-point framework and has already rejected Iran’s initial 10-point proposal. He said serious consultations are underway with Iran and Pakistan on a second plan, and that only three issues remain unresolved — a sign, he added, of broad consensus. Pakistan’s inclusion highlights its growing diplomatic role, experts noted. Vance also said Lebanon is not part of the current ceasefire agreement and warned Iran will bear responsibility for any related obstacles.
