Three sources said Vance is expected to depart for Islamabad Tuesday morning to negotiate a potential deal with Iran to end the war. While reaching a comprehensive agreement under such a tight timetable is extremely challenging, Trump may agree to extend the deadline if signs of progress emerge. The White House spent Monday awaiting a signal from Tehran confirming it would send a negotiating delegation to Islamabad. One source revealed that Iran had been stalling, with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard apparently pressuring the negotiators to maintain a tougher stance—no negotiations without an end to the US blockade. The Iranian delegation had been waiting for the Supreme Leader's green light. According to sources, approval was granted Monday evening local time. Two sources said Vance would depart Tuesday morning local time, while a third source indicated he might leave late Monday night. (Jinshi)
