Iran Denies Direct Meeting with U.S. as Witkoff and Kushner Head to Pakistan
Iran has stated that no direct meeting with U.S. officials is planned during the upcoming talks in Pakistan, despite the White House's announcement that President Trump's envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, are traveling for discussions with Iranian representatives. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei emphasized that Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is in Pakistan for official visits, but any communication with the U.S. will be mediated through Pakistani officials. This development comes as the U.S. seeks to engage Iran in dialogue to potentially reach a diplomatic agreement, amidst ongoing regional tensions.
