JD Vance Meets Pakistani PM to Discuss Bilateral Relations

Middle Eastern outlets focus on JD Vance’s claim that the Iran talks in Pakistan made 'a lot of progress' even though no deal was signed. They present Islamabad as an active diplomatic venue where Pakistan is trying to keep channels open between Washington and Tehran during the war. This view expects further efforts, possibly again involving Pakistan, to build on whatever understandings were reached behind closed doors.
