The United States and Iran have been engaged in conflict, with a military operation launched by the US and Israel in February. Previous talks in April failed to reach an agreement. Pakistan has been involved in facilitating dialogue.
ISLAMABAD, May 24. /TASS/. Significant progress has been achieved in the negotiating process between the United States and Iran to resolve their ongoing conflict, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Sunday.
"We commend President Trump’s leadership and commitment to dialogue and diplomacy, alongside Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the entire US team [Special Presidential Envoy] Steve Witkoff and [businessman] Jared Kushner, whose sustained engagement helped achieve meaningful progress in the ongoing negotiations," Dar stated on his X social network account.
"We appreciate and are thankful for the constructive engagement of the Iranian leadership, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, in support of advancing these peace efforts," he added.
US President Trump announced earlier that the draft of the future deal with Iran had been generally agreed. He stressed that he had telephone conversations with the leaders of Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey and discussed with them the draft memorandum of understanding on the peace deal with Iran.
The United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran on February 28. On April 7, US President Donald Trump declared a two-week ceasefire with Iran. On April 11, Iran and the US held several rounds of talks in Islamabad; however, both sides later reported that they were unable to reach an agreement on a long-term settlement of the conflict due to a number of contradictions.
On April 21, US President Donald Trump announced his intention to extend the ceasefire with Iran. Since then, a new round of talks has not taken place. On May 19, Trump stated that the United States was prepared to give diplomacy in the conflict over Iran a chance until early next week, postponing the resumption of hostilities until then. Meanwhile, according to the Iranian state television, Tehran does not recognize Washington’s unilateral ceasefire extension and will act as it deems necessary in its own interests.
