US Envoys to Visit Pakistan for Talks with Iran
Two US envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, are scheduled to travel to Pakistan on Saturday for discussions with Iranian officials. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has also arrived in Islamabad as part of the visit.
The trip comes amid ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran, which have been stalled for an extended period. The White House has confirmed that the envoys will engage in talks with Iranian representatives.
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that Iran still possesses an “open window” to reach a deal that would halt its pursuit of a nuclear weapon. He emphasized the importance of meaningful and verifiable agreements.
Details of the visit have not been disclosed, but it is clear that the US is seeking to rekindle negotiations with Iran. The visit coincides with ongoing uncertainty surrounding the potential for Tehran to return to the negotiating table.
The envoys’ trip to Pakistan marks a significant development in the conflict, which has entered its 57th day. The situation remains fluid, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
