US President Donald Trump is sending special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and special envoy for Peace, Jared Kushner to Pakistan for talks with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, CNN reported on Friday.

US Vice President JD Vance is on standby to travel to Islamabad if negotiations show progress, but he is currently not planning to attend the talks.

However, the Iranians have not confirmed if they are going to meet with the US delegation.

Earlier today, Araghchi said that he was heading to Pakistan, Oman and Russia on a "timely tour" that focused on "bilateral matters and regional developments".

Vance, Witkoff and Kushner were scheduled to travel to Islamabad on Tuesday, but the White House said the delegation's "trip to Pakistan will not be happening today (Tuesday)".

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Friday that Iran had a chance to make a "good deal, a wise deal". He said that the US has "all the time in the world" and is not anxious for a ceasefire deal.

Earlier today, Araghchi and Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar spoke about regional developments and the US-Iran ceasefire. 

"Both sides exchanged views on regional developments, the ceasefire, and ongoing diplomatic efforts being pursued by Islamabad in the context of US-Iran engagement," the statement read.

Sarfaraz "Not Even Being Allowed To Fail": Questions Raised On Selectors

-
https://ift.tt/gjQfS59 Sarfaraz Khan 's long absence from the Indian Test team has raised quite a few eyebrows. Several former players feel that the Mumbai batter, who has not played a Test since November 2024, deserves a chance in the squad. Former India player Aakash Chopra believes Sarfaraz has fallen victim to a perception battle. The 28-year-old has so far played six Tests, scoring 371 runs at an average of 37.10. He has three fifties and one century to his name. "I think there is a clarity issue in the case of Sarfaraz. I think it is a case of perception and understanding. I am trying to think-they might have a perception that he may not do as well in swinging conditions or play fast bowling well. Maybe he is not our guy in SENA countries. So he did not get the chance. But even to make that perception, I have to allow him to fail. He is not even being allowed to fail. And now there is no place in the team as well," Chopra said on Shubhankar Mishra's YouTube ch...

-
https://ift.tt/kE6JKcG Elephants are one of the most social and intelligent animals on the planet, known for their strong awareness of surroundings and protective herd dynamics. A recent video circulating on social media highlighted this intelligence, where an elephant expressed its clear displeasure when its personal space was intruded upon by humans and their recording devices. The 28-second video shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan shows a wild elephant charging towards the camera and clattering into it after spotting the device from afar.
