Pakistan Is Set to Host New Round of US-Iran Talks Next Week
(MENAFN) Pakistan is expected to host a second round of stalled US-Iran negotiations next week aimed at advancing efforts to end the conflict, according to two Pakistani government sources cited in reports on Wednesday.
As stated by reports, Islamabad believes the two sides could reach a preliminary agreement before US President Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to China, scheduled for May 14–15.
“Considering the latest developments, Pakistan is hopeful about the resumption of talks between the two sides next week to bring a negotiated settlement to the Middle East conflict,” a source said, referring to recent developments including the pause in Washington’s so-called “Operation Freedom” and the release of a seized Iranian vessel along with its crew.
According to the same source, most issues between Washington and Tehran are believed to be largely resolved, although key disagreements remain.
“Almost 80% to 85% of the issues between the two sides have been already settled, however, the core nuclear issue still remains a major bottleneck,” the source added.
Earlier discussions reportedly included disagreements over Iran’s proposal to expand negotiations to include maritime issues in the Strait of Hormuz alongside nuclear talks. As stated by reports, the United States rejected that approach and insisted the focus remain on Iran’s nuclear program as part of a broader effort toward a lasting ceasefire framework.
