Trump Cancels U.S. Envoys' Trip to Pakistan for Iran Talks

President Donald Trump has canceled the planned trip of U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Pakistan for peace talks with Iran. In an interview with Fox News, Trump stated, "I've told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, 'Nope, you're not making an 18-hour flight to go there.'"

The decision comes after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi departed Islamabad on Saturday without meeting American counterparts. Araghchi had engaged in discussions with Pakistani officials, including Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, but no direct talks with U.S. representatives were scheduled.

This development marks a setback for Pakistan's mediation efforts aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict. A previous round of negotiations held in Islamabad earlier this month failed to yield a deal.

Meanwhile, Iran has resumed commercial flights at Tehran's international airport for the first time since the conflict began in late February. Flights bound for Istanbul, Muscat, and Medina departed from Imam Khomeini International Airport, signaling a partial reopening of Iranian airspace.
