“Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi doesn’t plan to meet with US special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner during his upcoming trip to Pakistan, the Tasnim news agency said.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that Araghchi does not plan to meet with Witkoff and Kushner is reported by the Tasnim news agency via web search, and this sentiment is echoed in the context of the visit being separate from US talks, as noted in another web search result. The evidence suggests a divergence from earlier reports of planned meetings.

“CNN reported earlier that US President Donald Trump is sending Witkoff and Kushner to Pakistan to meet with Araghchi this weekend.”
DISPUTED
This claim is directly contradicted by evidence suggesting Araghchi is *not* meeting with them. Web search results cite Tasnim news agency stating Araghchi 'doesn’t plan to meet' with Witkoff and Kushner, directly contradicting the assertion that CNN reported he *will* meet them.

“According to the Iranian news agency, the top Iranian diplomat’s visit to Pakistan is not linked with talks with the United States.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that the visit is not linked to US talks is supported by the Tasnim news agency report found in the web search results, which states the visit is 'not linked with talks with the United States.' This is corroborated by the context provided in the web search results suggesting the visit is routine or related to Pakistan's own diplomatic movements.
