WASHINGTON (NYTODAY) – A major US broadcaster has reported that the second round of talks between the United States and Iran is likely to take place in Pakistan on Monday. The report, based on Iranian sources, suggests that both sides are preparing to continue their diplomatic engagement following initial discussions.
According to CNN, the schedule for the upcoming meeting has not yet been officially confirmed by US authorities. Despite the lack of formal confirmation, the development signals ongoing efforts to maintain dialogue between the two countries.
First Round of Talks Held in Islamabad
The first round of negotiations took place in Islamabad, where senior officials from both nations participated in high-level discussions aimed at reducing tensions and exploring areas of cooperation.
The US delegation was led by Vice President JD Vance. Prominent figures including Jared Kushner—son-in-law of Donald Trump—and special envoy Steve Witkoff were also part of the American team.
On the Iranian side, the delegation was headed by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, alongside Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.
Progress Made, More Talks Expected
Following the Islamabad meeting, both sides reportedly reached preliminary understandings on several key issues. While details were not publicly disclosed, officials indicated that the discussions were constructive and helped build a foundation for further negotiations.
The anticipated second round of talks is expected to focus on unresolved matters, as well as strengthening communication channels between Washington and Tehran.
Pakistan’s Role in Regional Diplomacy
Hosting such high-level talks highlights Pakistan’s growing role as a facilitator in international diplomacy. By providing a neutral platform, Islamabad continues to position itself as an important venue for dialogue on sensitive global issues.
If confirmed, Monday’s meeting could mark another important step toward easing tensions and promoting stability in the region.
