Witkoff and Kushner to meet Iranian foreign minister in Pakistan: White House
Iran Negotiations,Donald Trump,Iran
U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to travel to Pakistan on Saturday for negotiations with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the White House said.
Iranian state media denied that any meeting had been scheduled.
Why it matters: While President Trump extended the ceasefire with Iran, the diplomatic efforts haven't made any progress in recent days. The planned trip is an effort to break the stalemate and build momentum for a deal before Trump goes back to exploring military options.
