Abbas Araghchi is expected to return to Pakistan on Sunday to continue peace negotiations, according to state media reports. His anticipated visit comes just a day after departing from Islamabad, signaling the urgency and ongoing nature of diplomatic efforts in the region.

The renewed talks follow a setback in parallel diplomatic tracks, as U.S. envoys—previously expected to arrive in Islamabad on Saturday—did not materialize. Their absence comes after Iran reiterated its position that it would not engage in direct negotiations with the United States at this stage.

Araghchi’s return underscores Tehran’s commitment to pursuing dialogue through regional channels, particularly with Pakistan playing a key mediating role. Observers suggest that these negotiations could prove critical in easing tensions and fostering stability, although significant challenges remain.
