Trump cancels envoys' Pakistan trip, in blow to hopes for Iran conflict breakthrough
Head Donald Trump cancelled a trip by two US envoys to Iran conflict mediator Pakistan on Saturday, dealing a new setback to calm prospects after Iran's external affairs chief departed Islamabad after speaking only to Pakistani representatives.
While negotiation formal dialogue failed to materialise, Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu ordered his forces to "forcefully" assault Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, his office stated, further testing a three-week temporary calm.
Trump informed reporters in Florida that he decided to call off the planned visit by US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner because the dialogue in Islamabad involved too much travel and expense, and Iran's latest calm offer was not good enough for him.
Before boarding Aerial legal defence team One on Saturday for a return flight to Washington, Trump stated Iran had improved an offer to resolve the dispute after he cancelled the visit, "but not enough."
In a social press post, Trump also wrote there was "tremendous infighting and confusion" within Iran's leadership.
