Islamabad : United States delegation led by JD Vance is set to arrive in Islamabad for a second round of talks with Iran, as diplomatic efforts gain fresh momentum. US President Donald Trump said he is willing to meet Iranian leaders if progress is achieved during the negotiations.
Iran, which had earlier ruled out participation, is now “positively reviewing” its involvement following mediation efforts by Pakistan, signaling a notable shift in stance. Pakistan, which brokered a temporary ceasefire, continues to push for dialogue and is working to ease tensions, including efforts to address the US naval blockade.
Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar held talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, emphasizing continued engagement to resolve the crisis. Despite renewed diplomatic activity, tensions remain high, particularly over the Strait of Hormuz and the ongoing blockade, with recent incidents at sea further escalating the situation.
