Iran eyes a potential restart of US talks as Araqchi heads to Islamabad

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was due in Islamabad, the venue of past peace talks with the United States, with state media saying his trip would also include Muscat and Moscow. Two Pakistani government sources said the visit could signal a resumption of US–Iran talks, though Washington had not commented and a U.S. logistics team was in place for potential negotiations. The trip follows a previous peace-talk round that collapsed earlier in the week, and comes amid broader regional tensions, including Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz.
