Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi left Islamabad, Pakistan, on Saturday without meeting with US officials, raising questions about the US's commitment to ongoing diplomatic efforts. Following his departure, US President Donald Trump announced the cancellation of a planned envoy visit to Pakistan, emphasizing that too much time was wasted on travel without fruitful discussions. Araghchi had met with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir, conveying Iran's concerns regarding US terms. He stated that Tehran would continue to engage with Pakistan's mediation efforts until a resolution is found, although any talks would remain indirect. The previous round of talks held in April ended without an agreement, primarily due to disputes over Iran's nuclear program, which remains a significant point of contention.
