TL;DR

Vance departs for Islamabad carrying a 10-point plan Iran has already rejected while the Strait of Hormuz stays shut.

The highest-level US-Iran contact since 1979 offers a fragile opening for diplomacy in Islamabad.

X Perspective

This is theater — Vance is flying halfway around the world to deliver an ultimatum, not negotiate a peace.
