Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is in Islamabad meeting Pakistani officials, including Army Chief Asim Munir, amid heightened security, as verified by multiple sources. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to arrive in Pakistan on Saturday, but Tehran has stated no direct talks with the U.S. are planned, with communications to occur indirectly via Pakistani intermediaries. A White House claim of direct talks remains disputed.
