In an interview with Fox News, Trump stated that communication channels are open. "If they want to talk, they can come to us or call us. There is a phone. We have secure lines," Trump said. Additionally, the U.S. president canceled on Saturday the planned trip of his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan. This move further complicated the already fragile prospects for launching a new round of peace negotiations with Iran. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi left Islamabad after meetings with Pakistani officials without meeting with the U.S. delegation. Nevertheless, Araghchi soon returned to Pakistan despite the absence of U.S. representatives, which could indicate the continuation of diplomatic activities in the region.
