Iran live updates: Iranian FM expected to return to Islamabad, travel to Russia

Iranian state media reported Saturday night that Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was returning to Islamabad, Pakistan, from Muscat, Oman following meetings in Pakistan earlier on Saturday.

IRNA, Iran's official news agency, said in a Telegram post that Araghchi was scheduled to revisit Islamabad after completing his trip to Oman and before heading to Russia.

IRNA also reported that part of Araghchi's delegation returned to Tehran from Islamabad on Saturday "to consult and obtain the necessary instructions on issues related to ending the war."

The delegation members are scheduled to rejoin Araghchi in Islamabad on Sunday night, IRNA reported.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the Israel Defense Forces to "vigorously attack Hezbollah targets in Lebanon," according to a statement published by the prime minister's office announced on Saturday evening.

The order came amid a fragile temporary ceasefire between the two sides that has been in place since April 16. Israeli and Hezbollah attacks have continued despite the ceasefire, which President Donald Trump said on Thursday had been extended by three additional weeks.

President Donald Trump claimed that about ten minutes after he announced the cancellation of Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner’s trip to Pakistan for diplomatic talks on Saturday morning, Iran sent over a fresh peace offer that was “much better” than what they would have gone into the meeting working with.

When asked by reporters what changed since Friday, the president responded, “Nothing."

"It's just that they gave us a paper that should have been better. And interestingly, immediately, when I canceled it, within ten minutes, we got a new paper that was much better,” Trump added.

The president suggested that the U.S. communicated again with Iran his red line that the regime could not have any nuclear weapons.

President Donald Trump has canceled the trip by his special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to Islamabad for another round of peace talks due to Iran’s posture during the negotiations, the president said in a social media post Saturday.

"Too much time wasted on traveling, too much work! Besides which, there is tremendous infighting and confusion within their 'leadership.' Nobody knows who is in charge, including them. Also, we have all the cards, they have none!" he said.

With the Iranian Foreign Minister having left Pakistan ahead of Witkoff and Kushner's arrival, Trump said that if Iran wants to negotiate, "all they have to do is call."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Friday that it was the Iranians who requested these rounds of negotiations despite claims from the regime that they had no plans to speak trilaterally.

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi and his delegation flew out of Islamabad Saturday following their talks with Pakistani leaders.
