US President Donald Trump cancelled his envoys’ trip to Pakistan for peace talks with Iran on Saturday, saying there was no point “sitting around talking about nothing,” but added that the war would not immediately resume.
Speaking to reporters in Florida, Trump said the talks in Islamabad involved too much travel and expense, and that Iran’s latest peace offer was not good enough for him. Trump further said Iran had improved an offer to resolve the conflict after he cancelled the visit, “but not enough.”
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrapped up a visit to Islamabad after meeting Pakistan’s military chief Asim Munir, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar.
In a post on X, Abbas Araghchi described his visit to Pakistan as “very fruitful” but expressed doubts that the United States was serious about a diplomatic solution.
Iran said Araghchi had left for Muscat and would return to Pakistan after meetings in Oman before travelling on to Russia for talks on ending the war launched by the United States and Israel on February 28.
