After Iran’s foreign minister left Islamabad after negotiations, President Donald Trump canceled two US envoys’ trip to Islamabad on Saturday to speak with Pakistan, the Iranian war mediator. This was another blow to peace prospects.
In a social media post, Trump said that he had canceled the scheduled visit by his son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff, citing what he claimed to be severe miscommunication with the Iranian leadership. Too much work, too much time spent traveling! In addition, there is a great deal of internal strife and misunderstanding within their “leadership.”
Even they are unaware of who is in command. They have no cards, but we have all of them! He wrote, “They just need to give us a call if they want to talk. Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi had left Islamabad with little indication that negotiations with Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and other high-ranking officials had progressed.
Iran has virtually closed the Strait of Hormuz, which typically transports one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas supplies, while the US is blocking Iran’s oil exports, creating a deadlock between Washington and Tehran.
