US President Donald Trump has called off a planned visit by his envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, to Pakistan for peace negotiations with Iran. The cancellation comes as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi outlined Iran's demands during discussions in Islamabad, where he met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and other officials. The ongoing conflict, which began with US-Israeli airstrikes on February 28, has resulted in a ceasefire but continues to disrupt global energy markets, pushing prices to multi-year highs. Araqchi emphasized that Iran would not accept what he termed 'maximalist demands' from the US. Additionally, following the extension of the ceasefire, international flights have resumed from Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport, marking a significant step towards normalcy as airspace in the region had been largely closed due to the conflict.
