DID Press: Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson has said that the process of talks between Iran and the United States remains confidential and that no date has yet been set for a second round of negotiations, as Islamabad warns of a “fragile situation” amid the nearing end of a two-week ceasefire and calls for calm to sustain diplomatic efforts.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andarabi, speaking at a weekly press briefing, said that no specific timeline has been agreed for the next round of Iran–US talks. He stressed that “the determination of the date and delegation composition depends entirely on Tehran and Washington.”
Emphasizing the sensitivity of the process, Andarabi underlined the need for confidentiality, stating that “secrecy is part of the trust between the parties and Pakistan. We urge the media to avoid speculation.”
He noted that nuclear issues remain a key component of the negotiations and added that Islamabad believes “establishing peace in Lebanon” is an important condition for progress in Iran–US dialogue.
The spokesperson also referred to intensive recent discussions held in Islamabad, saying the talks on April 10–11 lasted around 30 hours. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has embarked on a four-day visit to Riyadh, Doha, and Istanbul, while Field Marshal Asim Munir is currently in Tehran to help facilitate an extension of the ceasefire.
The two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States, which began on April 8, is set to expire on April 22, with Pakistani officials describing the current situation as highly fragile.
Islamabad continues to position itself as a trusted mediator between the two sides, emphasizing its ongoing role in preventing further escalation of tensions.
