WASHINGTON/ISLAMABAD (HRNW): The White House has officially confirmed a telephonic conversation between U.S. President Donald Trump and Pakistan’s Field Marshal Asim Munir regarding the escalating conflict in Iran, a diplomatic move seen as a significant step toward regional de-escalation. According to Western news agencies, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, when questioned about the potential visit of Special Representative for South Asia Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Islamabad, stated that these are highly sensitive diplomatic discussions and the United States will not negotiate through the media. Leavitt further clarified that in a rapidly changing environment, speculations regarding high-level meetings should not be considered final until an official announcement is made by the White House. This confirmation follows widespread reports across various media platforms suggesting that U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Witkoff, and Jared Kushner may represent the United States in upcoming negotiations in Islamabad next week concerning the Iran crisis. Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the Pakistani Foreign Office has reiterated that Pakistan remains fully prepared to host and facilitate mediation if all involved parties are in agreement.
