US-Iran talks to return to Islamabad this Monday: CNN
Delegations expected Sunday as Pakistan hosts fresh negotiations amid ongoing tensions fueled by US-Israel policies
ISLAMABAD (MNTV) — A second round of negotiations between the United States and Iran is expected to take place in Islamabad on Monday, as diplomatic efforts continue following an earlier round that collapsed without any meaningful outcome.
According to reports citing Iranian sources, delegations from both sides are set to arrive in the Pakistani capital on Sunday, with talks aimed at addressing Iran’s nuclear program and containing regional tensions that have sharply escalated due to recent US-Israel military actions.
Pakistan, which hosted the initial round of discussions last week, has intensified its diplomatic engagement after those talks ended in deadlock, largely due to Washington’s rigid demands and continued pressure tactics. The negotiations come as a fragile ceasefire arrangement, facilitated by Islamabad, approaches its expiration early next week.
Senior Pakistani leadership, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, have remained actively engaged with Iranian officials and regional stakeholders such as Qatar and Türkiye in an effort to prevent further escalation and push both sides toward a workable framework.
Sources indicate the upcoming talks will revolve around Iran’s nuclear activities, sanctions relief, and broader regional security concerns.
While Washington continues to push for strict limits on uranium enrichment and nuclear infrastructure, Tehran has reiterated that its nuclear program is a sovereign right, signaling willingness only for temporary and conditional concessions.
Despite the renewed push for dialogue, neither side has formally confirmed the Islamabad meeting. However, US President Donald Trump has hinted at ongoing discussions, suggesting progress while offering no concrete details, a pattern critics say reflects Washington’s inconsistent approach to diplomacy.
A White House official said Trump is expected to address the situation from the Oval Office on Monday, though specifics remain unclear.
The resumption of talks in Islamabad underscores Pakistan’s growing role as a mediator, even as tensions driven by US and Israeli policies continue to destabilize the region and complicate efforts toward a lasting resolution.
