In light of the stalled direct meeting between the U.S. and Iranian delegations for 2026, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi began a short visit to Pakistan to present his country's terms regarding the proposed peace agreement. Diplomatic sources reported that
the Pakistani role will be summarized as a "courier" to convey Iranian responses to the U.S. delegation led by JD Vance, who remains in Washington. Despite the optimism earlier this week, Tehran's insistence on not sitting directly before achieving certain
gains puts the Trump-extended ceasefire at stake, amid international anticipation of the outcomes of Araghchi's written messages.
