The Iranian delegation has officially arrived in Islamabad for the much-anticipated peace talks with the United States. This development ends earlier uncertainty about Iran’s participation and signals progress toward dialogue. The high-level delegation is led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. They were received by Asim Munir and Ishaq Dar, highlighting Pakistan’s key mediating role in the negotiations. Iran is entering the talks with clear conditions. It is demanding a ceasefire extension that includes Lebanon and is also pushing for the release of its frozen financial assets. Tehran has indicated that progress on these issues is essential even before formal negotiations advance. With global attention fixed on these talks, the outcome will determine whether the current ceasefire holds or tensions escalate again. The discussions are expected to play a decisive role in shaping the next phase of this high-stakes geopolitical conflict.
