Efforts to Restart US–Iran Talks Intensify After Pakistan Meeting Fails

(MENAFN) Despite the breakdown of high-level negotiations in Pakistan, regional actors are reportedly still working to restart dialogue between the United States and Iran, according to officials familiar with the discussions cited in reports.

The Islamabad meeting represented one of the most senior direct engagements between American and Iranian representatives in recent years, but it ended without agreement due to deep and unresolved disagreements.

According to reports, the main sticking points included the status of Iran’s enriched uranium reserves, Tehran’s demand for access to roughly $27 billion in frozen overseas assets, and conditions tied to maritime access routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran reportedly presented alternative proposals, including reducing enrichment levels or limiting its nuclear stockpile. However, negotiators on both sides were unable to reach a compromise on key terms.

Despite the lack of progress, officials cited in the reporting said there is still a possibility that a second round of talks could be organized within days, suggesting that diplomatic channels remain open.

Regional governments are also reportedly urging Washington to extend the fragile two-week ceasefire agreement reached earlier, in an effort to prevent further escalation and create space for renewed negotiations, according to reports.
