President Donald Trump announced that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will no longer travel to Pakistan for talks with Iran, shortly after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's visit to Islamabad. Araghchi met with Pakistani Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to discuss Iran's negotiation terms, emphasizing that talks would be indirect. The ongoing conflict has led to an open-ended ceasefire, yet economic disruptions persist, particularly affecting global oil and gas shipments through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. Iran's officials have raised concerns about trusting the U.S. after previous negotiations over its nuclear program ended unfavorably. Despite a ceasefire, the war has resulted in substantial casualties, with over 3,375 deaths reported in Iran and more than 2,490 in Lebanon. The situation remains tense as Iran continues to assert its position while U.S. military actions in the region escalate.
