Leavitt cautioned against speculation, stating that evolving circumstances mean any reports of meetings or diplomatic engagements should not be considered final until officially announced by the White House.
Recent media reports had suggested that US Vice President JD Vance, along with special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, could potentially visit Islamabad to participate in talks related to Iran. However, US officials have not confirmed these plans.
On the Pakistani side, a spokesperson for the Foreign Office reiterated that Pakistan is willing to facilitate dialogue if all parties agree. The statement reflects Islamabad’s continued diplomatic engagement and its readiness to play a mediating role amid heightened tensions in the Middle East.
The development comes as global efforts intensify to de-escalate the Iran conflict and prevent further instability in the region. Analysts say Pakistan’s strategic position and balanced foreign policy make it a potential venue for dialogue between Washington and Tehran.
