President Donald Trump canceled a planned trip to Pakistan by his top envoys for negotiations over the Iran conflict, raising questions about the durability of the current ceasefire. The president on Saturday told his son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff to skip the trip, according to a statement from the White House.

"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," Trump told them, according to the White House. Earlier Saturday, Iran's top diplomat met mediators in Pakistan but left Islamabad ahead of the planned arrival of US envoys.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said in a social media post that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and other senior leaders met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for about two hours. The state-run IRNA news agency reported Saturday that Araghchi left the city after those talks.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt had said earlier that the Iranians originally reached out to the US to arrange the fresh round of talks. But Araghchi had said the purpose of his travel was to consult with partners on bilateral matters and his office refrained from portraying the meetings as mediation by Pakistan.

I said yesterday that the concession we heard about was a big deal but I think it was BS because why wouldn’t it be?

You DO need to call them. Wrapping this thing up before Nov. is the only play you have to offset high energy prices that are here to stay well after the end of this. Prices will remain high well into 2027 even if this ended today. Seems no one learned a damn thing about supply chains during and just after covid.
