ISLAMABAD (Web Desk): United States Vice President J. D. Vance departed for Islamabad on Friday along with a high-level delegation to hold key talks with Iranian representatives aimed at ending the ongoing Middle East conflict.

According to aviation details, the vice president is traveling aboard a C-32A aircraft, which has been assigned the special call sign “SAM095” for this mission. While the vice president’s aircraft typically uses the call sign “Air Force Two,” the designation SAM095 denotes a Special Air Mission operated by the United States Air Force to transport senior officials.

The aircraft is expected to land in Islamabad at approximately 10:27 am, with tracking data showing it was around 860 kilometers away from its destination at 9:12 am PST.

Authorities have implemented strict security measures across the capital in light of the VVIP movement and the arrival of multiple foreign delegations for the high-stakes negotiations between the United States and Iran.

The visit is seen as a critical step in ongoing diplomatic efforts, with Pakistan playing a central role in facilitating dialogue between the two sides.
