Pakistan Seeks New Window for US-Iran Talks
(MENAFN) Pakistan is working to establish a new period for the United States and Iran to resume direct negotiations aimed at ending their prolonged conflict under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, according to Pakistani government sources.
The proposed arrangement would create another 60-day window for diplomatic efforts, with discussions expected to focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and easing sanctions imposed on Tehran.
There has been no official confirmation from Washington, Tehran, or Islamabad regarding the proposal.
Islamabad’s latest initiative follows the expiration of the previous 60-day period, which ended last week without a public announcement from either side on whether the arrangement would be extended.
Pakistani sources say, however, that the two countries have informally agreed to avoid renewed military escalation despite the deadline passing. The previous period began on June 17 and concluded on Aug. 16.
The proposal follows a recent visit by Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, to Tehran, where he held discussions with Iranian officials over new diplomatic initiatives. The talks reportedly centered on restarting direct negotiations with Washington and restoring navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who traveled to Tehran alongside Munir, says “significant progress” has been achieved during the visit as Islamabad continues efforts to bring the US and Iran back to direct negotiations.
