Two high-ranking US officials are set to meet with Iranian foreign minister in Pakistan as part of new peace talks. The White House has announced that Jeffrey Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be heading to Pakistan for the meeting.

According to reports, the US blockade around the Strait of Hormuz is expected to remain in place “as long as it takes” according to Norwegian Defense Minister Espen Hegseth. This comes amid ongoing tensions between the US and Iran.

US President Donald Trump has also warned that he will not rush into any decisions regarding Iran, saying “don’t rush me.” The exact meaning of this statement is unclear.
