Witkoff, Kushner expected in Pakistan for Iran talks without Vance 
Iran’s foreign minister arrived in Islamabad for talks with Pakistani officials.

Iran has played down expectations of direct talks with the United States over ending the war as U.S. envoys are expected to travel to Islamabad, Pakistan — but this time without Vice President JD Vance, the lead negotiator.
