Vance Flies to Pakistan for Iran Talks as Israel Strikes Lebanon

U.S. Vice President JD Vance travels to Pakistan on Friday for mediated talks with Iran. The goal is to find a resolution to the ongoing war. This diplomatic mission comes at a critical time. Major Israeli strikes hit Lebanon this week, testing a fragile U.S.-Iran brokered ceasefire. In a related development, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved direct negotiations with Lebanon. Those talks are expected to take place in Washington next week. The situation remains tense as diplomacy and conflict test the region's fragile stability.
