U.S., Iran and Pakistan Officials Hold Face-to-Face Trilateral Talks

The core claim is well supported by independently fetched reports. The PANews article explicitly states that the U.S.-Iran-Pakistan trilateral talks were held face-to-face and names Steve Witkoff, JD Vance, Jared Kushner, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Pakistan’s army chief. ABC News independently confirms, citing a senior White House official, that the United States, Pakistan and Iran were holding a trilateral face-to-face meeting in Islamabad, and lists JD Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner in the core U.S. delegation. CBS News likewise reports U.S. and Iranian negotiators in Islamabad and says Vance, Witkoff, and Kushner would attend, while identifying Asim Munir among the Pakistani officials receiving Vance. NBC News further corroborates that lengthy U.S.-Iran talks took place in Pakistan. The only meaningful limitation is that the cited X post could not be fetched directly, and some outlets vary in how specifically they name the Iranian and Pakistani participants. But the main statement—that officials from the U.S., Iran, and Pakistan held face-to-face trilateral talks, including Witkoff, Vance, and Pakistan’s army chief—is supported.
