President Donald Trump said his special envoy Steve Witkoff is traveling to Pakistan for talks with Iran on Tuesday, Fox reported.
The talks in Pakistan may last into Wednesday, Fox cited Trump as saying. Separately, the president said in a post on social media that his representatives "will be there tomorrow evening, for Negotiations."
The president also renewed threats made earlier this month to "knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran" if no deal is reached, predicting that "they'll come down fast, they'll come down easy."
