April 24 (UPI) -- Talks with Iran are set to resume with special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner heading to Pakistan on Saturday to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the White House confirmed Friday.
Iranian state news agency IRNA said that no meeting has been scheduled, Axios reported.
"The Iranians want to talk. They want to talk in person, and the president is always willing to give diplomacy a chance," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Friday.
"We hope progress will be made, and we hope that positive development will come from this meeting. We have certainly seen some progress from the Iranian side in the last few days."
