US sends delegation to Pakistan amid Hormuz tensions

The White House has announced an American delegation will travel to Pakistan, with the apparent aim of meeting with Iranian officials. However, Tehran has issued a denial, stating it is not planning to hold negotiations with the United States at this moment. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is in Pakistan to discuss regional issues and Iran's views on ending the war, not to meet with American officials. This continues a pattern of announced US diplomatic moves being met with public rejections from Iran.
