Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump canceled the visit of his envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to Pakistan.
Iran refuses direct talks with America
In fact, Iran has refused to talk directly to America. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghei said that Iran will convey its message to America through Pakistan. In such a situation, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi handed over his objections to Iran’s conditions and American demands to Pakistan. He returned from Pakistan in the evening itself.
Trump canceled the delegation visit
Meanwhile, the US delegation did not reach Pakistan for talks with Iran. Trump announced that he was canceling the visit of his envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to Pakistan. “I have just canceled the trip of my representatives who were going to Islamabad, Pakistan to meet the Iranians. The trip was taking up too much time and too much work,” he wrote in a social media post.
He said that there is tremendous infighting and confusion within their (Iran’s) “leadership”. No one knows who really holds the reins – not even themselves. Also, we have all the cards in our hands, they have nothing. If they want to talk, all they have to do is make a call.
Talking about the current situation of war, US President Donald Trump has extended the ceasefire in the ongoing conflict with Iran indefinitely. Trump made it clear that the ceasefire will continue until the proposal is presented and discussions between the two sides are completed. However, during this period the blockade imposed by the US Navy will remain intact and the military forces will remain on full alert.
