Trump Sends Kushner and Witkoff to Pakistan for Iran War Talks
President Trump is sending his son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff to Pakistan on Saturday to restart talks aimed at ending the war with Iran. Iran's foreign minister has already arrived in Pakistan with what's believed to be a written response to a U.S. proposal.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Friday that Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff will travel to Pakistan on Saturday to restart negotiations with Iran.
Iran's foreign minister has already arrived in Pakistan, according to state media reports. He's believed to be carrying Iran's written response to a U.S. proposal, suggesting both sides are ready for serious talks.
President Trump said he's in no rush to make a peace deal, claiming the Iran conflict has hurt stocks and oil prices less than he expected. The talks come as Israel continues fighting with Hezbollah in Lebanon despite a ceasefire.
Pakistan is serving as the neutral meeting ground for the negotiations. The choice of location suggests both countries want a third party to help facilitate discussions.
This represents a significant diplomatic push as tensions between the U.S. and Iran have escalated in recent months.
These talks could determine whether the U.S. and Iran avoid a wider war that would disrupt global oil supplies and raise gas prices. The conflict has already affected stock markets and could impact the broader Middle East region where Israel is also fighting.
Watch for results from the Pakistan talks and any announcements about follow-up meetings.
