US awaits Iran response after high-level meeting

President Donald Trump met with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan Caine, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the Iran crisis. The administration had still heard nothing from the Iranians, despite urging Pakistani mediator Field Marshal Asim Munir to secure at least some kind of response before Vance departed. Hours later, there was still no communication from Tehran, leaving the diplomatic impasse unresolved.
