President Donald Trump announced that he has canceled plans to send U.S. envoys to Pakistan for talks with Iran, arguing that the trip was “not worth it.”

Speaking on Saturday, Trump claimed Tehran’s leadership is in disarray and insisted that Washington holds the upper hand in the ongoing standoff. “We have all the cards,” he said, adding that if Iran wants to negotiate, “all they have to do is call.”

The decision underscores the uncertainty surrounding diplomatic efforts in the region, particularly after recent escalations in the Gulf. Analysts note that Trump’s remarks reflect a strategy of pressure, signaling that the U.S. will not pursue talks unless Iran takes the initiative.

The cancellation raises questions about the future of negotiations, with observers warning that the absence of direct dialogue could prolong instability in the Middle East.
