While no new date has been announced, attention is expected to shift to alternative diplomatic channels in the coming weeks.
Donald Trump has called off a planned visit by American envoys to Pakistan, a move that disrupts efforts to open indirect peace discussions with Iran.
The delegation had been expected to travel to Islamabad for talks aimed at easing tensions between Washington and Tehran. The trip was seen as part of a broader diplomatic push to find common ground through third-party engagement.
However, Trump decided to halt the visit, reportedly citing a lack of meaningful progress and signalling that negotiations could continue without the need for travel.
The cancellation is likely to slow momentum around the proposed dialogue, which had relied on Pakistan’s role as a neutral meeting ground. Officials familiar with the process had hoped the talks would help bridge gaps between the two sides.
The decision reflects ongoing difficulties in securing direct or indirect engagement with Iran, as well as broader uncertainty over the direction of US foreign policy efforts tied to the dispute.
