Shortly beforehand, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrapped up a visit to Islamabad.

This latest decision by Trump came after Tehran completely ruled out any talks with the United States, given US blockade of Iranian ports despite the ceasefire. Iran called US blockade a violation of the ceasefire.

Hopes of a diplomatic ⁠breakthrough in the US-Israeli war with Iran have receded, with talks aimed at ending the two-month conflict at a standstill and both Tehran and Washington showing little willingness to soften their terms.

April 25 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump has canceled the trip to Islamabad, Pakistan, in which Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner were planning to meet with Iranian officials.

Iran had earlier said there were no plans for a direct meeting with a US delegation led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Abbas Araghchi met with Pakistani officials in Islamabad for about two hours on Saturday, but he left the city ahead of the expected arrival of U.S. envoys.

President Donald Trump canceled a trip by two U.S. envoys to Iran war mediator Pakistan on Saturday, dealing a new setback to peace ‌prospects after Iran's foreign minister departed Islamabad after speaking only to Pakistani officials. Trump told reporters in Florida ‌that he decided to call off the planned visit…

According to Fox News, Trump said that he told the envoys not to get on an "18-hour flight" while they were getting ready to leave. He said that he does not want his officials to "sit around talking about nothing".

President Trump announced that he has called off plans for U.S. negotiators to travel to Pakistan for peace talks with Iran, saying that if the Iranians want to deal, they can pick up the phone.

President Donald Trump said he is in no rush to make a peace deal, claiming the Iran war has harmed stocks and oil prices less than he expected.

The White House said US envoys would visit Islamabad to engage in talks with the Iranian delegation, but Iran's state media said Foreign Minister Araghchi had no plans to meet with the Americans.
