Iran’s negotiating delegation is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad, marking a critical step ahead of high-stakes discussions with the United States following a fragile ceasefire.
According to Iran’s Tasnim news agency, the delegation—led by parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf—arrived in Pakistan earlier and held initial meetings with top officials, including army chief Asim Munir and the country’s foreign minister.
The meeting with Sharif is expected to help shape Iran’s position as negotiations with the United States begin in Islamabad, with both sides seeking to stabilize the ceasefire and explore pathways toward a broader agreement.
Pakistan has emerged as a central mediator in the process, facilitating dialogue between the parties amid ongoing regional tensions. Officials say the outcome of the Islamabad talks could play a significant role in determining whether the current truce holds and whether a more comprehensive diplomatic breakthrough is achievable.
