Obstacle to Iran Nuclear Deal, VP Pence's Visit to Pakistan Temporarily Suspended

The United States Vice President Pence's planned visit to Pakistan regarding the nuclear negotiations with Iran has been temporarily suspended. This is reportedly due to Tehran's failure to respond to the U.S. negotiation terms. A U.S. government official stated that this temporary suspension occurred because Iran did not respond to the U.S. negotiation conditions, but added that the visit could be rescheduled at any time. The Trump administration continues to push for an agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program, but this temporary suspension represents another obstacle in the process. So far, there has been no official response from the Iranian side, and the situation remains pending further developments.
