Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said Sunday morning that bilateral meetings with Pakistani and Qatari delegations have been set, followed by a quadrilateral meeting between the Iranian and US delegations, with Qatari and Pakistani representatives present. The schedule confirms another round of mediated US-Iran talks for today.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman announced that two sets of meetings have been finalized for today (Sunday): morning bilateral consultations with Pakistani and Qatari delegations, followed by a quadrilateral meeting in the afternoon that will include the Iranian and US delegations alongside Qatari and Pakistani mediators, according to the spokesman. The announcement, carried by Iranian state channels, confirms that mediated US-Iran talks are proceeding today as scheduled, following the pattern established in earlier rounds.
The development comes after the series of diplomatic moves The Zioneer has been tracking since mid-June: the initial talks-setting meeting in Geneva on Friday June 12, the MOU signed digitally on Friday June 19, and earlier diplomatic activity in Islamabad. Previous rounds used a similar format of bilateral mediator meetings preceding a multilateral session. The specific venue for today's meetings has not been disclosed, nor have the agenda items beyond the general framework of negotiations.
The evolving source picture — from an initial announcement by a single source to this confirmation hours later — shows the talks are on track for today's planned sessions. The underlying event (the meetings themselves) remains unfolding; no outcomes or statements from the meetings have been reported yet.
