Iran has set a new condition for its participation in the upcoming peace talks in Islamabad, stating it will only attend if US Vice President JD Vance is present. This demand likely stems from Vance's perceived anti-war stance, which Tehran may view as a more favorable negotiating posture. The condition adds a new layer of complexity to the already fragile diplomatic process, as Vance's attendance status remains uncertain. The talks, scheduled for Tuesday, are aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict and securing a ceasefire.
