Pakistan Says U.S.–Iran Talks Have Made 'Encouraging Progress' and Seeks to Host Next Round

Islamabad points to recent high‑level visits and a U.S.‑led multilateral phone call as opening space for a final agreement.

Overview

  • Pakistan helped secure a ceasefire and hosted the first direct U.S.–Iran talks earlier this spring that ended without a final deal.
  • Pakistan has intensified shuttle diplomacy, sending military chief Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi to Tehran for follow-up meetings.
  • The Pakistan military’s press office described Munir’s Tehran visit as producing “encouraging progress” toward a final understanding.
  • Pakistani leaders publicly praised President Trump’s multilateral telephone outreach and thanked senior U.S., Iranian and U.N. figures for their engagement.
  • Negotiations remain fragile and unresolved with progress dependent on follow-up rounds, logistics for envoy travel, and Iran’s conditions for face‑to‑face talks.
