Iran FM tour overlaps with US envoys in Pakistan

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is on a regional diplomatic tour, with confirmed stops in Islamabad, Muscat, and Moscow. The tour coincides with the planned arrival of senior White House advisors Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff in Islamabad for a second round of direct talks. Iran has now stated that Araghchi's visit to Pakistan is part of his normal schedule and that he will be in Muscat by the time the American delegation arrives, downplaying the significance of the overlap. President Trump is still planning to send Kushner and Witkoff to meet Araghchi in Pakistan in the coming days.
