Donald Trump said Friday that Iran is expected to present a proposal aimed at meeting U.S. expectations, as Washington moves ahead with plans for direct discussions in Pakistan.

Speaking in an interview with Reuters, Trump indicated that a potential offer from Tehran is forthcoming but cautioned that its details remain to be seen. “They’re making an offer and we’ll have to see,” Trump said.

He added that U.S. negotiators are currently engaging with those holding power in Iran, saying officials “are dealing with the people who are in charge now”.

The remarks came after the White House confirmed that Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner will travel to Pakistan on Saturday for in-person talks with Iranian representatives.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the trip during a Fox News interview on Friday.

“I can confirm that Special Envoy Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be off to Pakistan again tomorrow morning to engage in direct talks with representatives from the Iranian delegation,” she said.

Leavitt said the discussions will be facilitated by Pakistan, noting that the initiative came from Iran. “The Iranians reached out, as the President called on them to do, and asked for this in-person conversation, so the President is dispatching Steve and Jared to go hear what they have to say, and we’re hopeful that it will be a productive conversation,” she said.

Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, arrived in Islamabad on Friday, though Iranian outlets pushed back on reports that he would meet with U.S. officials.

According to the Iranian news agency Tasnim, “American officials and the media have been fabricating stories about a new round of talks for more than 10 days.”

The outlet also reported that negotiations with Washington “are not currently on the agenda,” adding that Araghchi’s discussions in Pakistan will instead focus on “Iran’s considerations regarding ending the war.”
