Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is heading to Islamabad for new contacts mediated by Pakistan as part of ongoing ceasefire negotiations with the US. Whether the US will participate in the talks remains uncertain.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is reported to travel to Islamabad as part of ceasefire negotiations mediated by the US and Pakistan.
In the process that began with US-Israeli attacks on Iran on February 28, a temporary two-week ceasefire was achieved on April 8. Following the ceasefire, talks held in Pakistan on April 11 lasted approximately 21 hours, but no agreement was reached between the parties.
DISAGREEMENTS CONTINUE
Efforts for a second round of talks mediated by Pakistan also remained inconclusive. Disagreements on various issues, particularly the US naval blockade against Iran, complicated the progress of the process.
CONTACT ESTABLISHED FOR NEW ROUND
According to Iran's state television, Araghchi spoke by phone with Pakistani Chief of General Staff Marshal Munir and Foreign Minister Dar. The discussions covered regional developments and the ceasefire process.
MEETING TO BE HELD IN ISLAMABAD
Araghchi is expected to travel to Pakistan today and hold face-to-face meetings with the delegation. According to information reported by CNN International, it remains uncertain whether the US will participate in the talks.
ISLAMABAD KEPT READY FOR POSSIBLE NEGOTIATIONS
Meanwhile, Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, is being kept on standby for possible new talks between the US and Iran. However, the parties have not yet confirmed participation in a second round of negotiations. As the sixth day of main road closures in Islamabad begins, no statement has been made regarding when restrictions will be lifted. While heavy-tonnage vehicles are not allowed into the city, reports that this situation is slowing fresh food shipments and causing disruptions in the supply chain have been featured in Western media.
