Iran’s official IRNA news agency has confirmed Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s visit to Pakistan, Oman and Russia.
As reported by IRNA, the country’s top diplomatic officials are expected to visit Pakistan for another round of peace talks later this week, raising hopes of reviving talks in the Iran-US war.
As reported by The Associated Press on Friday, the officials did not provide further details and spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
In the context of the same, US President Donald Trump says that after talks at the White House on Thursday, Israel and Lebanon have agreed to extend the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah by three weeks. The meeting was the second high-level talks between the two countries since last week.
The initial 10-day ceasefire, which took effect last Friday, was due to expire on Monday.
“The purpose of the visit is to conduct bilateral consultations and discuss current developments in the region as well as the latest situation of war imposed by the United States,” the agency said on Friday.
The scheduled visit appears to be the first concrete indication in days that Iran may send a delegation to Pakistan for fresh talks on ending the war.
