-- 白宮新聞秘書卡羅琳·萊維特週五表示，隨著伊朗在停火延期後釋放出準備進行談判的信號，美國代表團將前往巴基斯坦。 白宮在回覆的電子郵件問詢中，僅提及了萊維特的公開表態，並未提供更多細節。 萊維特週五接受福克斯新聞採訪時表示，美國特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和賈里德·庫許納將於週六上午啟程前往巴基斯坦，與伊朗官員舉行會談。 萊維特表示，伊朗官員希望舉行面對面會談，「總統始終希望給外交一個機會」。 關於副總統J·D·萬斯，她表示，“他將在美國待命”，但如有需要，他可能會前往巴基斯坦，具體取決於會談的進展。 據報道，伊朗外交部長阿巴斯·阿拉格奇預計將於週五晚間率領一個小型代表團抵達伊斯蘭堡，以推進重啟與美國直接談判的努力。 阿拉格奇在其社交媒體帳號上發文說：“我即將開始對伊斯蘭堡、馬斯喀特和莫斯科的訪問。此行的目的是與我們的伙伴密切協調雙邊事務，並就地區局勢發展進行磋商。我們的鄰國是我們的優先事項。” 這次外交努力的重啟源自於2月28日爆發的衝突。此前，美國總統唐納德·川普延長了停火期限，以便為談判爭取時間。 週二，川普在Truth Social網站上發文稱，應巴基斯坦領導人的要求，美國將暫緩對伊朗發動攻擊，「直到伊朗領導人…提出統一的方案」。
