Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Islamabad late Friday for meetings with Pakistan’s leadership, potentially paving the way for a second round of US-Iran talks. The White House confirmed that US special envoy Steve Witkoff and advisor Jared Kushner will travel to Pakistan on Saturday for direct negotiations.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Islamabad late Friday, received by Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and army chief General Asim Munir. According to a Foreign Ministry statement, Araghchi “will hold meetings with Pakistan’s senior leadership to discuss the latest regional developments as well as ongoing efforts for regional peace and stability.” His visit comes amid Islamabad’s diplomatic push to facilitate dialogue between Tehran and Washington.

US envoys to arrive Saturday

The White House confirmed that US special envoy Steve Witkoff and advisor Jared Kushner will travel to Pakistan on Saturday for talks with Iranian representatives. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told Fox News: “I can confirm special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be off to Pakistan again tomorrow morning to engage in direct talks, intermediated by the Pakistanis, who have been incredible mediators throughout this entire process.” Leavitt added that Vice President JD Vance remains “deeply involved” but will stay in the US.

Second round of talks on horizon

Pakistan is stepping up efforts to revive a second round of Iran-US talks following the first round held in Islamabad on April 11-12. Those talks came after Pakistan brokered a two-week ceasefire on April 8, later extended indefinitely by President Trump. The diplomatic push continues amid ongoing tensions since the outbreak of war on February 28, with efforts focused on reaching a broader agreement to end hostilities.
