Full Post: A senior Pakistani official told me that the meeting with Araqchi will focus on trying to resume negotiations with the Trump administration. “A trilateral meeting with the US will be considered only after our meeting with Araqchi,” the senior Pakistani official said. 🇺🇸🇮🇷🇵🇰Two sources familiar with the matter said that the meeting between the American envoys and Araqchi may not take place until Monday, after Witkoff and Kushner will hold separate talks with Pakistani mediators on Sunday.

Context

This trilateral meeting postponement indicates a cautious approach to US-Iran relations, which may affect geopolitical stability in the region. Until negotiations progress, markets may remain sensitive, particularly impacting oil prices and currencies sensitive to these developments, such as the USD and JPY. The delays suggest a potentially prolonged period of uncertainty, which could lead to risk aversion in markets.
