Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Iran's foreign minister is in Pakistan's

capital again after he took part in peace talks there earlier this month. Pessi Joel's reports

from Islamabad, the city's been locked down for days in anticipation of another round of talks.

In addition to Islamabad, Araghi said in a post on X that he'll also

visit Muscat and Moscow for discussions on, quote, bilateral matters. Pakistan's foreign ministry

said in a statement that Araghi would hold meetings with its senior leadership. White House

Press Secretary Caroline Levitt told Fox News that Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff

would travel to Pakistan on Saturday for talks.

Araghi did not say if he would participate in talks with the U.S. in Pakistan.

The Trump administration has extended a waiver of the Jones Act through the end of August in an attempt to help with domestic supplies of gas and other refined oil products.

And Pierce Camilla Dominovsky reports, waiving the Jones Act makes it easier to move fuel around, but it doesn't significantly affect prices.

The Jones Act requires goods shipped from one

U.S. port to another to be sent on a U.S. built ship with a U.S. crew. The requirement boosts

the domestic shipbuilding industry, but creates a headache for other industries. There just aren't

very many ships that qualify. The initial 60-day waiver of the

Act was meant to help companies adapt to the global disruption in oil supplies caused by the Iran

war. Experts say it does make it easier to ship fuels from U.S. refineries to U.S. customers,

but the effect on gasoline prices for consumers is minimal by some estimates as little as a fraction of a penny.
