Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Islamabad on Friday for meetings with Pakistani officials, coinciding with planned visits by US special envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner for new talks on the Iran ceasefire. Iran has denied plans for direct meetings with US officials, with messages to be conveyed via Pakistan, amid conflicting US statements. This follows a first round of talks two weeks ago that yielded no progress, after an eight-week conflict and Trump's indefinite ceasefire extension.
