The White House has confirmed that the Trump administration will send a special envoy to hold talks with Iran in an effort to assess the possibilities for diplomatic progress. Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff will travel to Pakistan to "listen to the Iranian side," while Vice President JD Vance remains on standby to engage if deemed necessary. According to her, the U.S. has observed "some signs of progress" from Iran in recent days, which has influenced the decision to continue contacts. Additionally, Leavitt expressed appreciation for the cooperation between Israel and Lebanon in continuing ceasefire negotiations.
