Why was the US trip to Pakistan unlikely to work?

As soon as Iran's foreign minister departed Islamabad, President Donald Trump scrapped his plans to send his son-in-law Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to meet with the Iranians in Pakistan.

Early yesterday afternoon, hours before U.S. markets closed, Trump’s spokesman said the Iranians had requested the meeting and had shown “progress.” It was an ambitious move for many reasons — not least because the Iranians denied they would meet with the American delegation.

Iranian state media has repeatedly said that Tehran's top diplomat, Abbas Araghchi, would engage in bilateral talks only with the Pakistani mediation team.

Logistically, the situation would have been challenging; the US representatives were at least 17 hours away – making it impossible for them to land in Pakistan before the Iranians were expected to leave.

An added difficulty was the choice to send Witkoff, who is seen as unreliable by Iranian negotiators according to sources familiar with the talks.

Whether Trump has miscalculated the diplomatic dynamic, or Iran is not ready to make the compromises he wants, at least markets remained optimistic after Friday's announcement.

The same thing happened last week, when Trump signaled that his vice president, JD Vance, might travel to the region again — a plan that also fell through. ( CNN )
