Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Islamabad on Sunday after visiting Muscat, as diplomatic efforts continued amid stalled negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme and regional tensions, according to sources.

Pakistan’s efforts to broker a ceasefire between the US and Iran are ongoing, as Araghchi met Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir, on Sunday to discuss bilateral ties and regional security.

The discussions focused in detail on bilateral relations and the broader security situation in the region.

Araghchi arrived in Islamabad again from Muscat, while an Iranian delegation from Tehran also reached the Pakistani capital for talks. He said Tehran was continuing diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.

Separately, Araghchi held a telephone conversation with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud before arriving in Pakistan, according to Al Jazeera. The two discussed the latest developments in the Middle East.

During the call, Araghchi briefed his Saudi counterpart on various aspects of the regional situation, particularly progress related to ceasefire efforts, and outlined Iran’s diplomatic initiatives to reduce tensions.

The two officials also discussed ongoing regional developments and diplomatic engagement, though further details were not disclosed.

Earlier, Araghchi held meetings with political leaders in Muscat, focusing on regional developments and bilateral relations.

In addition, PM Shehbaz Sharif held a roughly 50-minute phone call with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, during which they discussed bilateral ties and regional developments.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said talks with Iran over its nuclear programme were ongoing, emphasising that Tehran should not develop nuclear weapons.

Trump said Iran had presented an initial draft agreement, followed by a revised version shortly after a planned visit was cancelled.

He described the negotiations as straightforward, adding that while there were internal differences within Iran’s leadership, Washington would engage with whichever authority was responsible for reaching an agreement.
