US envoys have arrived in Pakistan in a renewed push to revive stalled peace negotiations with Iran, but uncertainty looms over whether meaningful talks will take place.
According to officials, senior US representatives, including special envoys, are heading to Islamabad to engage with Iranian counterparts amid a fragile ceasefire in the ongoing Middle East conflict.
However, the prospects of direct dialogue remain unclear. While the White House has expressed optimism about “in-person conversations,” Iranian authorities have indicated that no direct talks are planned, with Pakistan expected to act as a mediator between the two sides.
Iran’s Foreign Minister has already reached Islamabad as part of a broader regional tour, holding consultations with Pakistani officials on efforts to restore peace and stability in the region.
The latest diplomatic push comes after earlier rounds of negotiations in Islamabad failed to produce a breakthrough, leaving key issues unresolved, including sanctions, Iran’s nuclear program, and control of vital oil routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.
Tensions remain high as both sides continue to disagree on core demands, raising doubts over whether the current round of talks will yield progress or further deepen the stalemate.
