Vance Leads Iran Peace Talks, Trump Delays Strike

0:00On March 27, even after the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, hardline groups have strengthened their hold, keeping the regime, stable and in charge. Vice President Vance, who urged President Trump to avoid war with Iran, now leads efforts to wrap up the conflict through talks. He met with top officials from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar's Prime Minister on Thursday to discuss ending the fighting and aiding gulf. Partners For report from an Israeli news site claimed, Vance shouted at Prime Minister Netanyahu about violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank. White House staff called it untrue, and suspected it was planted to damage Vance's reputation. Israeli officials denied any role in the story, and said they quickly rejected it to reporters. Meanwhile, the White House floated Vance hitting a top-level U.S. team for direct peace discussions with Iran over the weekend. Trump pushed back his deadline for hitting Iranian energy sites by 10 days until Monday, April 6, 2026, at 8 p.m. Eastern time, as negotiations continue productively.
