Pakistani proposal to host a second round of U.S.-Iran talks

As part of ongoing diplomatic efforts, a new proposal has been put forward to host a second round of talks between the United States and Iran, amid anticipation over the course of de-escalation and negotiations between the two sides.

Two Pakistani officials announced that “Pakistan has proposed hosting a second round of talks between the United States and Iran in Islamabad in the coming days, before the ceasefire expires.”

The two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, said that “this proposal will depend on whether the two sides request that the meeting be held in a different location.”

One of the officials added that “despite the first round ending without an agreement, those talks are part of an ongoing diplomatic process and not a one-off attempt.”
