Araghchi Likely to Land in Islamabad as Pakistan Pushes for Renewed US-Iran Dialogue

Abbas Araghchi is expected to arrive in Islamabad on Friday night as diplomatic momentum builds for a possible second round of talks between United States and Iran.

While Iranian officials describe the visit as part of a regional tour including Muscat and Moscow, discussions are expected to focus on rising tensions and ongoing conflict in the Middle East. It remains unclear whether Araghchi will directly meet US representatives.

Sources say a US logistics and security team is already in Islamabad, signaling preparations for potential negotiations facilitated by Pakistan.

Earlier, Ishaq Dar emphasized the need for continued dialogue during a call with Araghchi, who praised Pakistan’s constructive role in mediating between Washington and Tehran.

Despite a temporary ceasefire brokered by Shehbaz Sharif, tensions persist following disputes over the Strait of Hormuz and military actions by both sides. However, diplomatic efforts continue, with Donald Trump recently extending the truce to allow further negotiations.
