An Iranian delegation has visited Pakistan. Abbas Araghchi, Iran's top nuclear negotiator, visited Pakistan with a small entourage, stating that the visit is part of a scheduled diplomatic itinerary. The Iranian side explicitly denied any plans to meet with US officials.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stated in an interview with Reuters that he would watch any proposals put forth by Iran. The US had been planning to send Middle East envoy Steve Wicoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad, Pakistan.
