“They’re making an offer and we’ll have to see,” Trump said during a phone interview.

Trump ​said he did not know what the offer would ​be yet.

He has been adamant that any ⁠deal include Iran giving up its enriched uranium and allowing ​freedom of oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump ​had earlier expressed concern about who was leading Iran, and ​US officials have said they believe the leadership is fractured.

On Friday, when ‌asked ⁠who the US was negotiating with, Trump said: “I don’t want to say that, but we’re dealing with the people that are in charge now.”

He declined to provide names.

Trump has insisted the US ​military will ⁠maintain a blockade against Iran’s ports until an agreement is reached.

When asked what is needed to lift the blockade, Trump ⁠said: “I’d ​have to be able to answer ​that question later. I have to see what they’re offering.”

Later, White House press ​secretary Karoline Leavitt said special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would leave for Pakistan on Saturday morning for talks with Araqchi.

Leavitt struck an upbeat tone, saying the US had seen some progress from ⁠the Iranian side in recent days and hoped more would come this weekend.

She added that US Vice President JD Vance, who earlier this month led a first round of unsuccessful talks with Iran to end their war, is ready to travel to ​Pakistan as well.

Pakistani sources said earlier that a US logistics and security team was already in place in Islamabad for potential talks.

Pakistan’s foreign ministry confirmed Araqchi’s ​arrival in Islamabad, where a heavy military and paramilitary presence was visible across the central parts of the city.

Araqchi went straight into a meeting with Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar at the Serena Hotel, where the first round of talks with the US was held, two government sources said.

Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani pledged his country’s support for mediation efforts by Pakistan in a phone call with Trump, Qatar’s state news agency reported.

Araqchi wrote on X that he was visiting Pakistan, Oman and Russia to coordinate with partners on bilateral matters ​and consult on regional developments.

The tour will include consultations on the latest efforts to end the war, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson later told state media.
