IRAN FOREIGN MINISTER WILL BE ON BRIEF VISIT TO PAKISTAN FOR BILATERAL TALKS, TO DISCUSS HIS SIDE OF THE PROPOSAL FOR TALKS WITH U.S., WHICH WILL BE CONVEYED TO THE U.S.

Trump is sending his special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan to participate in talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, two administration officials tell CNN.

VP JD Vance is not currently planning to attend given Iran's Speaker of the Parliament, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, who is viewed internally by White House officials as the head of the Iran delegation and Vance's counterpart, is not participating either, they said.

(tldr: not looking good, potentially Another week of SOH Closure)

expected Vance to Join talks) was expected on Tuesday and now he not even joining talks at all for now atleast)

Went from heads talking face to face to now not even coming for talks

Iran FM Araghchi's trip to Islamabad is not for negotiations with the U.S. But rather he will discuss with the Pakistani side regarding Iran's considerations about ending the war: Iran State Media

Also purpose of these trips is close coordination with his partners on "bilateral" issues and consultations on regional developments

Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, has arrived in Islamabad, according to Iranian state media. Iranian officials said he planned to meet with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, two of the lead U.S. negotiators in peace talks with Iran: NYT

U.S. and Iranian delegations will have separate meetings with Pakistani officials this weekend, a senior Pakistani government official told ABC News. If those meetings go well, the U.S. and Iranian delegations would then meet directly on Sunday, the official said: ABC

U.S. delegation is expected to arrive Saturday evening local time.

(again fyi, all this means nothing, unless vance goes)

(All these are just going tonight, tomorrow, probably this week, if that happens, might, depends, probably, etc yet No one from U.S. delegation has left United States as of now)

The chances of resuming the 2nd round of talks between the US and Iran in Islamabad today are rapidly fading as Tehran is still not ready to meet the U.S. delegation, Pakistani Journalist

They can call us anytime they want, but you're not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing'.
