While Israel and Hezbollah continue to exchange attacks despite an extended ceasefire, the US and Iran continue to provide conflicting signals over whether negotiations will take place this weekend.
Here are the most recent developments regarding a second round of peace negotiations:
The United States has stated: The White House said on Friday that US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will go to Pakistan on Saturday to take part in direct peace negotiations with Iran. Vice President JD Vance is prepared to visit Islamabad if the negotiations move forward. The press secretary stated that the White House has "seen some progress" from the Iranians.
What Trump has said: Over the course of the week, President Donald Trump has not provided much information on when the war will end. He stated on Friday that Iran will make an offer to the United States, but he was unsure of the specifics. Just one day prior, Trump claimed that negotiations were being hampered by the lack of clarity about Iran's leadership.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Pakistan on Friday to meet with mediators, but his government denied that a face-to-face meeting with the United States was scheduled. Additionally, "there are no conversations with the Americans on the agenda," according to Iran's semi-official state media.
