Trump cancels Witkoff and Kushner's trip to Pakistan for Iran talks
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was heading talks with Pakistan, but the actual decision-maker in Iran is unclear following the transition of power to Mojtaba Khamenei. Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen in public since taking power, creating ambiguity in the country's political system.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was leading talks with Pakistan, but the actual decision-maker in the country is unclear. Mojtaba Khamenei has assumed the role of supreme leader following the death of his father, Ali Khamenei, on February 28. However, Mojtaba Khamenei has not been seen in public since taking power, creating ambiguity in Iran's political system. Formally, diplomacy is handled by the government, with Araghchi representing Tehran in talks with the US under President Masoud Pezeshkian. However, Araghchi's role appears operational rather than directive. Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf heads Iran's delegation and claims his actions align with Mojtaba Khamenei's wishes, but there is little visible evidence of direct coordination.
