What We Know So Far

US Vice President JD Vance is leading the American delegation to Pakistan for the second round of talks, joined by special envoy Steve Witkoff and presidential adviser Jared Kushner.

Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that Araghchi and his Pakistani counterpart Ishaq Dar spoke by phone on Sunday, stressing “the need for continued dialogue and engagement as essential to resolving the current issues as soon as possible.”

What’s Next?

• US side: Preparations appear active, with advance teams reportedly in place or en route.
• Iranian side: Tehran continues to project caution, with state media underscoring that no delegation has departed and dismissing unverified claims.

Diplomatic watchers note that Pakistan’s role as a neutral host could still facilitate progress if both parties show flexibility. However, significant gaps remain on critical issues such as sanctions relief, nuclear limits, and maritime security.

As developments unfold rapidly, the international community is closely monitoring whether the preliminary movements in Islamabad will lead to substantive negotiations or further stalemate.
