Overview
- Vice President JD Vance arrived in Islamabad on Saturday for face-to-face talks with Iranian representatives, which local outlets said could include parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
- Public tracking showed his Boeing C-32A flying under the Special Air Mission call sign SAM095 instead of the usual “Air Force Two.”
- A second C-32A, listed as SAM091, flew a near-identical path as a backup and to make it harder to tell which plane carried the vice president.
- Flightradar24 data earlier placed SAM095 near Samarkand, Uzbekistan, with an estimated Islamabad arrival of about 10:27 a.m. local time.
- Pakistani authorities tightened security across the capital for the VVIP movement linked to the delegation’s arrival.
