Pakistan’s Mediation Gains Momentum: Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi to Arrive in Islamabad Tonight

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to arrive in Islamabad tonight on a significant diplomatic visit, according to a Pakistani government source speaking to Sky News. He is likely to travel with a small delegation.

Sources say a US logistics and security team is already present in Islamabad, underscoring the sensitivity of the visit. The development is being seen as a step toward a potential second round of peace talks between the United States and Iran, facilitated by Pakistan following key backchannel discussions.

International news agencies Reuters and Associated Press have also reported on the development. According to sources, Araghchi held earlier conversations with his Pakistani counterpart and senior military leadership.

The visit comes after efforts to initiate direct talks between Washington and Tehran collapsed earlier this week, raising the stakes for renewed diplomatic engagement through regional mediation.
