Rumors have once again intensified regarding the second round of talks between America and Iran. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reached Islamabad late on Friday night. At the same time, US President Donald Trump has sent his special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner to Pakistan. Both are going to reach Islamabad today on Saturday. Now the biggest question is whether there will be talks between the two countries this time?
Pakistan is playing the role of mediator in this talks. The American side says that their representatives will hold peace talks with the Iranian side, while Iran’s side has clearly denied. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghai wrote on social media that no such direct meeting is scheduled. He said that Iran will convey its message to America only through Pakistani officials.
What did Iran say on talks with US?
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson tweeted, “We have arrived in Islamabad, Pakistan for an official visit. Foreign Minister Araghchi will meet high-level Pakistani officials regarding the ongoing mediation to end the war of aggression imposed by the US and restore peace in our region. There is no meeting plan between Iran and the US. Iran’s observations will be conveyed to Pakistan.”
Araghchi welcomed in Islamabad
Araghchi was welcomed by Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar. Army Chief Asim Munir and Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi were also present with him. In a post on
JD Vance can also reach Pakistan
Let us tell you that earlier also on April 11-12, the first round of talks took place between America and Iran in Islamabad, in which Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf was the head of the delegation. This time they are not attending. US Vice President JD Vance is also not going directly to this round of talks. The White House said that they will remain on standby and can reach Islamabad if needed.
The big question is, will there be a solution to the war?
The White House press secretary said that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are going to Pakistan to listen to the Iranians so that positive progress can be made. However, Iran has kept its stance completely different. According to Iranian media reports, Araghchi will meet only with Pakistani leaders in Pakistan and will not have any direct talks with US officials. Iran has already said that we will not negotiate according to Trump’s terms.
