US and Iran edge toward talks via Pakistan
Trump envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are flying to Pakistan as Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrives in Islamabad, raising cautious hopes for direct nuclear diplomacy. Tehran has not formally committed to a face-to-face meeting, but the simultaneous presence of both sides in the same capital is the closest the two countries have come to talks in months. The back-channel is unfolding against a backdrop of Israeli strikes still killing Palestinians in Gaza and continued Israeli attacks in Lebanon.
