Intense diplomatic efforts are underway in Tehran to prevent a potential escalation of conflict between the United States and Iran. These efforts involve high-level delegations from Pakistan and Qatar.
Sources close to the negotiations said Saturday that intensive diplomatic efforts in Tehran aimed at preventing a resumption of fighting between the United States and Iran are making progress.
A regional source reported that "things are moving in a positive direction," while another source described the latest developments as "hopeful."
A third source familiar with the talks confirmed that "the stalemate has ended," although it was not immediately clear whether this was in reference to overcoming the obstacle related to substantive issues, such as Iran's stockpiles of enriched uranium, or simply meant reaching a formulation of a memorandum aimed at preventing a resumption of fighting.
These statements come in the wake of meetings that brought together Iranian officials with the Pakistani Chief of Staff and Qatari representatives.
Delegations from Qatar and Pakistan headed to Tehran seeking to stop the conflict, according to the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismail Baqai, on Friday, as reported by the official news agency "IRNA."
The Pakistani Chief of Staff, General Asim Munir, met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in sessions that extended late into the night, discussing "averting escalation" and ending the conflict, according to "IRNA" on Saturday morning.
Munir's meetings with Araghchi were renewed on Saturday, and Munir also met with Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
