Analysis Summary
Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei approved Iranian participation in peace talks scheduled for Pakistan after days of conflicting signals from Tehran. The approval came as US Vice President JD Vance prepared to travel to Islamabad before the ceasefire expires April 22, though Reuters reported Vance had not yet departed as of publication. The shift from Iran's Foreign Ministry earlier denying talks suggests pressure from Khamenei overrode IRGC resistance, with sources citing Trump's bombing threat and the expiring ceasefire deadline as catalysts. Both countries are now signaling return to Pakistan for discussions, though no firm timing or agenda has been confirmed.
