Scoop: Trump is sending his special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Pakistan to participate in talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, two administration officials tell CNN.VP JD Vance is not currently planning to attend given Iran's Speaker of the Parliament, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, who is viewed internally by White House officials as the head of the Iran delegation and Vance's counterpart, is not participating either, they said. However, the vice president will be on standby to travel to Islamabad if negotiations progress, they said, and members of his staff will be in the country and attending the talk.
