Trump tells New York Post a senior U.S. delegation is already heading to Pakistan for talks with Iran

President Trump told the New York Post shortly after 9 a.m. Eastern on Monday that Vice President JD Vance, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, were on their way to Pakistan for negotiations with Iran, and were expected to arrive Monday night local time in Islamabad. 

CBS News has asked the White House to confirm Vance's imminent arrival in Islamabad, given that the president previously said the vice president would not join a second round of talks with Iranian officials in Pakistan, "because of security." 

"They're heading over now," the president said, according to the newspaper. "They'll be there tonight, [Islamabad] time."

Iran has not committed to taking part in a new round of talks with the U.S., with Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei saying Monday there were "no plans for the next round of negotiations."

The White House has not publicly confirmed that a senior U.S. delegation is on the way to Islamabad, nor who would be in the group.  

A two-week ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. is set to expire Tuesday night in the U.S., which will be early Wednesday in the Middle East. Mr. Trump has warned that if Iran does not accept his offer for a deal, he will order strikes to destroy all of its power plants and bridges.
