Iranian delegation arrives in Pakistan for talks with US

The Iranian delegation, led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has landed in Islamabad, Pakistan, for talks with the US.

Ghalibaf is accompanied by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Akbar Ahmadian, Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati, as well as some members of parliament, Fars reported.

If the opposing side accepts Iran’s preconditions for starting negotiations, these talks will begin,” Fars reported.

Fars noted that Tehran had accepted the terms of the two-week ceasefire but that if hostilities resume, they “will once again set US interests in the region and Israel on fire.”

The Iranian delegation was received by several Pakistani officials in Islamabad, including Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, the foreign ministry said in a statement.

The ministry expressed “hope that parties would engage constructively” and advocated for reaching a “lasting and durable solution to the conflict,” the statement continued.
