U.S. President Donald Trump has canceled a scheduled visit to Pakistan by a U.S. delegation intended for peace talks with Iran. The President shared this update with Fox News on Saturday morning (April 25) local time. Meanwhile, the Iranian delegation, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, has departed Islamabad.

Despite previous indications that a delegation would be sent to Pakistan for a second round of peace talks, President Trump withdrew the decision at the last minute.

He stated that his representatives would not travel to Islamabad for "meaningless talks." However, he noted that Tehran is welcome to contact Washington for a resolution at any time.

"We aren't looking to spend 15 hours on a plane for meaningless discussions," the U.S. President said. "We will talk over the phone. They can call us anytime. We hold all the cards now. They effectively have no military power left and no leaders."

When questioned by reporters regarding the end of the ceasefire, the President said he has not yet made a decision on the matter. He expressed readiness to reach an agreement with whoever currently holds administrative power in Iran but emphasized that the U.S. remains firm on its stance regarding Iran's nuclear program.

On the other side, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Oman as part of the second leg of his three-nation diplomatic tour. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Araghchi described his visit to Pakistan as highly productive, though he expressed skepticism regarding Washington's sincerity in resolving the conflict through dialogue.

According to Iran’s Mehr News Agency, Araghchi may return to Pakistan following the conclusion of his tour. Meanwhile, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a warning to the United States, stating they will provide an even harsher response to any new attacks.

The Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters stated that if the U.S. continues its blockade and military pressure, Iran remains prepared for resistance, adding that control of the Strait of Hormuz remains a strategic priority.
