Washington - U.S. President Donald Trump announced today the cancellation of a special envoy's planned trip to Pakistan for talks with Iranian representatives. He later stated that whenever Iran wishes to talk, they can simply call him. Trump claimed that less than 10 minutes after the cancellation was announced, the United States received a new document with content much better than the previous proposal.
According to White House statements yesterday, Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner were scheduled to travel to Islamabad today for face-to-face meetings with Iranian delegates to push forward an agreement.
However, Trump posted earlier on Truth Social: 'Too much time spent traveling, and too much work! Besides, they have intense infighting and extreme chaos within their "leadership." No one knows who is in charge, not even themselves.'
Speaking to the media in Florida before departing for Washington, Trump said he would talk to anyone he must, but 'there's no reason to wait there for two days and have people spend 16 or 17 hours on a journey. We are not going to do that. When they want to talk, they can call me; we hold all the cards.'
Regarding what changed since yesterday, Trump responded that nothing changed except that the proposal from Iran should have been better. As soon as he canceled, a new document arrived within 10 minutes, which was significantly improved.
Trump emphasized that the whole deal is not complicated: Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. 'It's that simple,' he added.
Shortly before Trump's announcement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had concluded a diplomatic visit to Islamabad. Araghchi posted on X that his trip was 'productive' and he had proposed a 'viable framework to end the war,' though he questioned whether the US truly desires diplomacy. Iranian state television noted that Araghchi had no scheduled meeting with American officials, and Islamabad would serve as a bridge to relay Iranian proposals.
