United States (US) Vice President JD Vance will lead the US delegation for talks with Iran in Pakistan. The White House statement came shortly after President Donald Trump said Vance would not make the trip.
Reported AFPMonday (20/4/2026), Trump announced that he would send negotiators to Islamabad for meetings with Tehran about ending the conflict that has been raging in the Middle East, with a ceasefire that will end soon.
However, Trump said Vance – who led the last round of talks with Tehran in Islamabad but did not produce a deal – would not make the trip, citing security concerns.
“It’s just a security issue,” Trump said ABC News. “JD is good.”
But the White House quickly changed its stance when asked about the comments. Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will attend the talks, a White House official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
All three were present at the last meeting on April 11-12.
Earlier, Trump accused Iran of a “complete violation” of a two-week ceasefire between the two countries with attacks in the Strait of Hormuz – and threatened to destroy power plants and bridges if no deal was reached.
Trump said on his Truth Social platform that he was offering Iran a “reasonable deal” and that if Tehran refused, “the United States will destroy every power plant, and every bridge, in Iran. No more good guys!”
“They will go down fast, they will go down easy and, if they don’t accept the deal, it would be my honor to do what should be done, what should have been done to Iran, by other Presidents, over the last 47 years,” he wrote.
Washington’s UN envoy, Mike Waltz, told ABC News that he believes this new round of talks will produce “very important” results.
The Strait of Hormuz remained closed on Sunday (12/4) amid the deadlock. Iran announced it had closed it again to shipping a day after saying it would reopen the strategic waterway.
A British maritime security agency said Iran’s Revolutionary Guard had opened fire on a tanker on Saturday, while security intelligence firm Vanguard Tech reported that the forces had threatened to “destroy” an empty cruise ship fleeing the Gulf.
In a third incident, the British agency said it had received reports of a ship “hit by an unknown projectile, which caused damage” to shipping containers but did not start a fire. The US-Iran ceasefire is scheduled to end on Wednesday (22/4).

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
