Pakistan’s Foreign Office has clarified that no date has been finalised for the second round of talks between the United States and Iran, urging media and observers to avoid speculation regarding the timing of future negotiations.
During a weekly briefing, the spokesperson emphasised that while diplomatic engagement between both sides continues, discussions are still at a sensitive stage and require confidentiality. Officials declined to share specific details, stating that premature disclosure could undermine trust in the ongoing process.
Authorities confirmed that Pakistan remains actively involved in facilitating dialogue between Washington and Tehran. Proposals have been shared with both sides regarding the resumption of talks, but scheduling and logistics are still under coordination.
The development comes after the first round of negotiations in Islamabad ended without a breakthrough, despite lengthy discussions aimed at extending a ceasefire and resolving key disputes. Major sticking points included Iran’s nuclear programme and control over the Strait of Hormuz.
Despite the lack of a confirmed date, diplomatic momentum appears to be continuing. Officials maintain that communication channels between the two sides remain open, and efforts are underway to bring delegations back to the table.
Recent international developments also suggest cautious optimism, with indications that both countries are still willing to engage in further dialogue, even as tensions remain high in the region.
Analysts believe that the absence of a fixed schedule reflects the complexity of the negotiations, where multiple issues must be resolved before formal talks can resume. They note that timing will depend on progress made through backchannel diplomacy and mutual willingness to compromise.
Pakistan’s continued role as a mediator highlights its growing importance in international diplomacy, particularly in efforts to prevent further escalation in the Middle East.
The situation remains fluid, with expectations that a second round of talks could take place once conditions become more favourable, but for now, no official date has been announced.
