The Trump administration is sending two key advisers to Pakistan this weekend for a second round of diplomatic talks with Iranian officials, the White House confirmed Friday.

Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to depart Saturday for Pakistan, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced during a Fox News interview. The trip represents a continuation of diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran regarding what officials have described as potential peace negotiations.

The announcement comes as Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has separately indicated he is planning travel to Pakistan, Oman and Russia, though the timing and specific purpose of his regional tour was not immediately clear.

This marks the second known diplomatic mission by Witkoff and Kushner to the region for Iran-related discussions. The first round of talks took place recently, though specific details about the substance of those conversations have not been publicly disclosed.

The diplomatic activity occurs amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently providing updates on U.S. military efforts in the region. The timing of the various diplomatic movements suggests intensified efforts to address regional security concerns through dialogue.
