Iran has formally requested an in-person meeting with the US government as US officials prepare for peace talks in Pakistan. Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, are set to travel to Islamabad for discussions with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who arrived in Pakistan on Friday. The White House indicated that there has been progress in negotiations with Iran, but Iranian officials have rejected previous US requests for talks, citing excessive demands. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson, Esmael Baqaei, stated that no direct meeting with the US is planned, and any communication will be facilitated by Pakistani officials. Baqaei expressed gratitude to Pakistan for its mediation efforts in addressing what Iran describes as an 'American imposed war of aggression.' The US is reportedly open to hearing a peace plan from Iran through these intermediaries.
