Iran's deputy foreign minister stated that no date has been set for the next round of talks with the United States, emphasizing the need for a framework of understanding first. The highest-level U.S.-Iran talks since the 1979 Islamic Revolution ended in Islamabad without agreement, and Donald Trump indicated a possible weekend direct talks. Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz again following a temporary reopening after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon.
Pakistan is attempting to mediate peace talks between the US and Iran, with some progress reported but no agreement yet reached. A second round of talks is expected to take place in Islamabad, and Pakistan acknowledges potential setbacks and domestic challenges. Pakistan is committed to achieving a peace agreement.
