Tonight, Vice President JD Vance making history in a highstakes face-to-face meeting with Iranian leaders. 
The highest level talks ever between the US and Iran's Islamic Republic. 
Joining the negotiations in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, President Trump's special envoy Steve Wickoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner representing Iran, the country's foreign minister and parliamentary speaker, leaders in Pakistan playing host to the trilateral in-person talks.

And while Israel is not part of the talks in Pakistan, Israeli actions inside Lebanon are Iran insisting the attacks on Lebanon must stop. 
Israel's prime minister in a televised address tonight saying, "We still have more to do.
