The U.S. negotiating team is likely to be led by JD Vance. <\/p>\n

The first round of direct negotiations between the U.S. and Iran regarding a ceasefire agreement is scheduled for Friday, April 10, in the capital of Pakistan.<\/p>\n

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing Axios and CNN.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“Options for in-person negotiations are being discussed, but a final decision will be made only after a statement from the president or the White House,” said press secretary Carolina Livitt to Axios.<\/p>\n

It is important to note that these will be the first direct negotiations since the war began. Two sources clarified to the publication that the meeting is scheduled for this Friday, April 10.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, CNN reports that, according to their information, the U.S. delegation in Islamabad will include Trump’s special representative Steve Witkoff, the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and U.S. Vice President JD Vance.<\/p>\n

Vance is likely to lead the delegation. Although during the war, Witkoff conducted negotiations with Iran with Vance’s support.<\/p>\n

Currently, the U.S. Vice President is in Hungary. CNN sources say that his trip may include a stop in Hungary, time permitting.<\/p>\n

Updated at 05:50<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on social media X that Iran, the U.S., and allies have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and other countries.<\/p>\n

He also publicly invited the U.S. and Iranian delegations to meet on April 10 in Islamabad.<\/p>\n

What happened<\/p>\n

Recall that last night, April 8, the ultimatum from U.S. President Donald Trump to Iran regarding the opening of the Hormuz Strait expired. He threatened to bomb all bridges and power plants in the country if Tehran did not meet his condition.<\/p>\n

However, just a couple of hours before the deadline, the parties agreed through intermediaries to a two-week ceasefire. Trump stated that he accepted Pakistan’s proposal on the condition of opening the strait. He also added that during the ceasefire, the parties plan to reach a final peace agreement both with Iran and in the Middle East as a whole.<\/p>\n

The Iranian Foreign Ministry has already publicly stated that Tehran will open the Hormuz Strait during the ceasefire. However, coordination with their military will be necessary for the passage of vessels.<\/p>\n
