President Donald Trump announced that he has cancelled a planned trip by his representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, to Islamabad for talks with Iran. In a post on Truth Social, he said the decision was made to avoid wasting time on travel and to focus on other work.

Trump criticized what he described as internal conflict and confusion within Iran's leadership, claiming that no one appears to be clearly in charge. He also asserted that the United States holds a strong negotiating position.

The president stated that if Iran wants to engage in discussions, its leaders can initiate contact directly. He emphasized that reaching out would be simple, writing that 'if they want to talk, all they have to do is call.'
