White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday described the situation surrounding possible negotiations with Iran in Pakistan to resolve the conflict as “fluid.”
– Leavitt was responding to a question from ABC News on potential talks in Islamabad involving US Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner along with Vice President JD Vance.
– “These are sensitive diplomatic discussions, and the US will not negotiate through the press. This is a fluid situation, and speculation about meetings should not be deemed as final until they are formally announced by the White House,” the spokesperson said.
– A Pakistani official had reportedly told ABC that there are “several proposals” under consideration for potential negotiations, including a direct meeting in Islamabad.
– The official added that US-Iran contacts are likely to take place within five days, in line with President Donald Trump’s post on Truth Social, but stressed that no final decision has been made.
– A Pakistani official has said direct talks may be held in Islamabad this week, according to Reuters.
– Iranian media reported that Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif discussed the impact of the war on regional and global security.
