A senior source told Al-Arabiya that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's visit to Islamabad is close. No further details on the timing or purpose of the visit have been disclosed.
A senior Iranian source told the Arabic-language news outlet Al-Arabiya on Monday evening that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's visit to Islamabad, Pakistan, is imminent. The report did not provide specific dates or the agenda of the visit. The development comes as the latest in a series of reports regarding Araghchi's planned trip, which has been described as part of mediation efforts between the United States and Iran.
Earlier Monday at 17:35 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported that Pakistan's Foreign Minister had invited Araghchi during a phone call, according to the Pakistani Foreign Ministry. In a subsequent update, the Al-Hadath network reported that Pakistan also plans to invite Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf for discussions on resuming talks with the United States. A third report confirmed that Araghchi would travel to Pakistan for mediation talks, though no specific schedule was provided. The source quality has evolved from an official invitation to multiple media reports citing Iranian and regional sources.
As The Zioneer has reported, Araghchi has been at the center of Tehran's diplomatic outreach, including the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding with the United States and ongoing discussions in Switzerland. The foreign minister has recently visited Oman and Iraq, and a reported visit to Lebanon has also been covered by The Zioneer. The broader context includes high-stakes negotiations between Iran and the U.S. amid regional tensions.
No specific dates or agenda for the Islamabad visit have been disclosed. The Zioneer continues to monitor the development.
