Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were to travel to Islamabad to attempt to revive ceasefire negotiations
Donald Trump said he has told US envoys not to go to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, shortly after Tehran’s top diplomat left Islamabad late on Saturday.
Trump added to Fox News: “They can call us anytime they want.” The White House on Friday said Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would travel to Pakistan’s capital to attempt to revive ceasefire negotiations.
Iran ’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, left Pakistan on Saturday evening, two Pakistani officials told the Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Araghchi had met with the Pakistani army chief field marshal, Asim Munir, and the Pakistani prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif, about what he called Iran’s red lines for negotiations, and said Tehran would engage with Pakistan’s mediation efforts “until a result is achieved”. Iran had said talks would be indirect.
