Overview
- President Trump canceled the planned visit by envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad on Saturday, saying Iran could call if it wants talks.
- Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, met Pakistan’s prime minister, foreign minister, and army chief in Islamabad and left after a one‑day stop he called very fruitful.
- Tehran ruled out face‑to‑face meetings with U.S. representatives during the Pakistan visit and asked Islamabad to pass along its positions.
- Iran’s president told Pakistan’s leader that Tehran will not return to talks until the U.S. lifts its port blockade, while Pakistani officials continued to mediate.
- Following Saturday’s cancellation, Pakistani sources said U.S. teams flew security gear out of Islamabad on Sunday as Araghchi resumed his shuttle via Oman and returned to Pakistan, with the Hormuz standoff and dueling blockades still squeezing global oil supplies.
