Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday presented Tehran’s formal response to various proposals during a meeting with Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir in Islamabad.

According to Iranian state television, the response is comprehensive in nature and reflects all key concerns and considerations of the Iranian leadership.

Officials said the discussions focused on the situation in the Middle East and related regional developments.

Media reports suggest the development comes at a time when Pakistan is actively engaging in diplomatic efforts to revive dialogue between Tehran and Washington.

Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and National Security Adviser General Asim Malik were also present at the meeting.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi and Iran’s Ambassador to Islamabad, Reza Amiri Moghadam, also attended the discussions.

Diplomatic sources said that Araghchi is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif later today, after which he is expected to depart Pakistan.

Officials said the meetings are part of consultations on developments to revive the US-Iran negotiations to bring to an end the war in the Middle East.

The sources added that the Iranian delegation does not plan to extend its stay in Pakistan.

They further said that Araghchi will travel onward to Oman and Russia as part of his diplomatic engagements.

The White House has said that US special envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner are expected to depart for Pakistan on Saturday morning (US time) for potential talks.

The visit comes as diplomatic momentum builds around possible efforts to restart negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
