The fact that even this lower-tier team canceled the trip is a clear indication of how far apart the sides are.
There was very little hope for any diplomatic breakthrough this weekend. Now, even that little hope has completely vanished.
The proposed US delegation, led by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, already lacked the weight of the vice president. JD Vance was "on standby" but was not expected to be involved initially.
The fact that even this lower-tier team has canceled the trip is a clear indication of how far apart the sides are.
US President Donald Trump has canceled a planned trip to Pakistan by envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who were expected to hold talks with Iran, Fox News reported. According to the same source, Trump himself confirmed the decision during a statement to US media, stressing that it makes no sense for the US delegation to take an 18-hour flight to Pakistan.
He said the United States "holds all the cards" in its confrontation with Iran, suggesting that Washington does not see the need to take such steps at this time. Trump also added that Tehran can contact the United States anytime it wants.
"I told my people a little while ago, they were getting ready to leave, and I said, 'No, you're not going to take an 18-hour flight to get there. We have all the cards. They can call us whenever they want, but you're not going to take long trips just to talk about nothing,'" Trump said.
Yesterday, White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt stated that "we hope that positive developments will come out of this meeting," despite Tehran having categorically denied that such a meeting was planned.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi traveled to Pakistan — a country he has been mediating — but only for bilateral talks with local authorities. His statements after the meeting did not provide many details, but gave the impression that Iran had not changed significantly from its previous positions.
In addition to thanking his Pakistani hosts, he stressed that he had presented Iran's "views and considerations" and expressed "the willingness to continue Pakistan's mediation efforts until a result is reached." In short: we are ready for negotiations, but do not expect surrender.
One of the main points of contention remains the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime corridor for global energy trade. Currently, both sides have taken actions that restrict traffic in this area, increasing the risk of further escalation and impacts on international markets.
The fact that this issue was not part of the discussions before the conflict began, but has now taken a central role, indicates a change in the dynamics of the crisis. It also shows that the path to a lasting agreement remains long and complicated, with little prospect of a quick solution in the near term./ Adapted from "Pamphlet" by "BBC".
