Iranwill make an offer aimed at satisfying the demands of the United States, PresidentDonald Trumptold Reuters on Friday. Peace talks between the US and Iran are expected to resume in Pakistan’s Islamabad this weekend. Trump said that he did not exactly know what the offer would be yet, according to the report. "They're making an offer and we'll have to see," Trump said during a telephonic interview with Reuters. Iran and the US are likely to hold the second round of negotiations in Pakistan’s Islamabad this weekend.
The second round of negotiations come after United States President Donald Trump indefinitely extended the ceasefire with Iran. The US has been adamant that any deal with Iran must include Tehran giving up its enriched uranium and allowing freedom of oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.Check Live UpdatesHere
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Pakistan earlier today. Araghchi is on a trip to Pakistan, Oman and Russia focused on “bilateral matters and regional developments."
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said on X that "No meeting is planned to take place between Iran and the US." Instead, Baqaei said Pakistani officials would convey messages between the delegations. Baqaei thanked the Pakistani government for its "ongoing mediation."
The White House said earlier Friday that its envoys would meet Araghchi. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and senior adviser Jared Kushner will travel to Pakistan to engage in talks with the Iranian delegation.
"I can confirm special envoy Witoff and Jared Kushner will be off to Pakistan again tomorrow morning to engage in talks, direct talks inter mediated by the Pakistanis, who have been incredible friends and mediators throughout this entire process, with representatives from the Iranian delegation," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News.
"And we're hopeful that it will be a productive conversation and hopefully move the ball forward towards a deal," she added.
Leavitt said Vance will not be travelling to Pakistan on Saturday, but remains deeply involved in the process. "He'll be standing by here in the United States, along with the president and the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the entire national security team for updates. And, of course, everyone will be on standby to fly to Pakistan if necessary," she said.
"But first, Steve and Jared will be going over there to report back to the president, the vice president and the rest of the team," Leavitt said.
