US President Donald Trump announced the cancellation of a planned visit by negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad, Pakistan, after Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, led a delegation there without engaging in direct talks with US officials. Trump expressed frustration over the lack of progress and referred to the internal chaos within Iran's leadership, stating, “Nobody knows who is in charge.” He criticized Iran's latest peace offer as inadequate, prompting him to call off the trip, which he deemed too costly and unproductive. The situation remains tense, as the last major talks in April ended in a stalemate over critical issues such as Iran's nuclear program and control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Araghchi's comments after leaving Islamabad indicated skepticism about the US's commitment to serious diplomacy, further complicating the prospects for future negotiations.
