An Iranian negotiating delegation led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will arrive in Pakistan tomorrow to oversee the ongoing contacts with the United States, according to a report by the Al-Hadath network. The visit follows Pakistani mediation efforts and signals continued diplomatic movement as US-Iran nuclear talks progress.
At 17:14 Jerusalem, Al-Hadath reported that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will lead a delegation to Pakistan tomorrow, with its mission defined as 'supervising the continuation of contacts' with the United States. The new detail — that Araghchi himself will head the team — elevates what was already a closely watched visit, and frames the Pakistani channel as an active oversight mechanism in the US-Iran nuclear talks.
This development deepens a thread The Zioneer has tracked since 21:21 Jerusalem on June 11. Earlier reports, first from Al-Arabiya and then from Al-Hadath, had placed Araghchi's travel to Pakistan on June 13, citing Pakistani sources who said the US and Iran were far from a deal. The visit was initially described as tentative, with no official confirmation. By 17:08 today, The Zioneer reported the visit as confirmed, citing Al-Arabiya. The new Al-Hadath report adds Araghchi's leadership and the supervisory purpose. The source quality across the thread has remained consistent: multiple Arabic-language newsrooms citing sources, but no on-the-record confirmation from Tehran or Islamabad.
As The Zioneer reported at 20:55 on June 12, Pakistan's foreign minister traveled to Geneva for US-Iran mediation talks. Araghchi has also held phone calls in recent days with his Qatari, French, Turkish, and Saudi counterparts (The Zioneer, June 8, June 12). Fox News reported on June 10 that a Qatari delegation was acting in Iran on behalf of the Trump administration.
The Al-Hadath report remains attributed to a single unnamed source. No details were disclosed on the visit's agenda, duration, or expected outcomes, and neither Iranian nor Pakistani officials have publicly confirmed the specifics.
