Iran requested an in-person meeting with the US government, according to reporting from Fox News, as US officials prepare a trip to Pakan.

On Saturday morning, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will be traveling to Pakan for talks with the Iran’s foreign miner, the White House confirmed.

The two will be heading to Islamabad, where Pakan will be mediating talks with Iran.

“Everyone will be on stand to fly to Pakan if necessary, but first, Steve and Jared will be going over there to report back to the president, the vice president and the rest of the team,” Leavitt said on the Fox News show “America Reports.”

The White House also said that they have “seen progress” from the Iranian side of the negotiations in recent days.

Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are heading to Islamabad on Saturday for peace talks with Iran, the White House says. Iran’s foreign miner arrived in Pakan’s capital on Friday. The US said it is ready to hear a plan for peace from Iranian officials through Pakani intermediaries.

However, Iran has completely rejected US requests for negotiations due to their excessive demands and has made no request for talks with the Americans, Iran’s state media Tasnim News reported, rejecting the White House press secretary’s earlier remarks about Tehran seeking talks.
