Summary
The talks could provide an eleventh hour opportunity to reach a deal, or at least extend the ceasefire, though Iran has yet to confirm its participation and is concerned this is all subterfuge from the White House. In a brief call with Axios on Sunday, President Trump expressed optimism about the purported talks. "I feel fine about it. I think we have a good chance to get it completed," he said. Earlier on Sunday, Trump had said his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would depart for Pakistan on Sunday, but didn't mention Vance.
