US President Donald Trump canceled a trip by two US envoys to Pakistan on Saturday, dealing a new setback to peace prospects in the two-month conflict with Iran, according to sources familiar with the matter. The envoys were scheduled to travel to Islamabad to discuss mediation efforts, but the trip was called off without public explanation.
Iran's foreign minister had earlier flown out of Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, after talks with Pakistani officials. The cancellation comes amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran, with no breakthrough in sight.
Pakistan has historically played a mediating role in regional conflicts, but this latest development underscores the challenges in finding a diplomatic solution. The White House has not commented on the reason for the cancellation.
