Trump Clarifies: Canceling U.S. Delegation Mission in Pakistan Does Not Mean Resuming War with Iran

 U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed today, Saturday, April 25, 2026, that his decision to cancel sending negotiators to Pakistan does not signify a return to full-scale military confrontation with Tehran. In statements to "Axios," Trump described the long flight as "useless" at this stage, suggesting that communication could be handled via phone with the same efficiency. Trump emphasized that Washington has not considered resuming the war but is waiting for an Iranian initiative for direct contact, effectively placing the ball in Tehran's court to break the current diplomatic stalemate.
