US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to travel to Pakistan for more Iran talks, White House says
The delegation will meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi as Pakistan tries to restart ceasefire talks after earlier negotiations stalled, officials said.
- Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are traveling to Pakistan on Saturday to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for renewed peace talks, the White House confirmed Friday.
- Earlier this week, President Donald Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely to grant Iran time to prepare a "unified proposal" for ending the conflict, which has disrupted global shipping.
- While White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the Iranians requested the meeting, Iranian state media asserts no official talks are scheduled between the two sides.
- Vice President J.D. Vance remains on standby in the U.S. to join negotiations if talks progress, signaling the administration's commitment to achieving a diplomatic resolution.
- Reopening the Strait of Hormuz could stabilize energy markets and lower regional tensions; failure risks escalating military and economic pressure on Tehran.
