U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Trump envoy Steve Witkoff, and Iran’s Foreign Minister were involved in overnight ceasefire talks that would see a two-stage agreement announced as soon as today, a report claims.

Washington and Tehran are considering an agreement to be signed today that would begin an immediate ceasefire ahead of in-person talks for a later comprehensive agreement, Reuters reports. While Reuters cited only a single unnamed “source,” since the publication of its report, the Iranian Foreign Ministry has said it indeed received the text of a proposed ceasefire negotiated through the mediator, the Pakistani Army, lending credence to the wire service’s claims.

According to the report, U.S. Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump’s ubiquitous peace envoy Steve Witkoff were in overnight talks held by the head of the Pakistani Army Field Marshal Asim Munir, with the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi, one of the few surviving members of the Iranian pre-war government, after weeks of “decapitation” strikes. It is stated that the agreement is intended to proceed in two stages: an immediate ceasefire, should the parties agree, followed by talks on a “comprehensive” peace agreement in the Middle East.
