Iran shows willingness to return to negotiating table
• Naqvi meets Pezeshkian, Momeni to ‘discuss mediation process’ • Iran ‘grateful’ to Pakistan’s political, military leadership for peace efforts • US refuses visas to some members of Iranian president’s delegation • Second Qatari LNG cargo ship ‘cleared by Iranians’ due today ISLAMABAD: Iran on Monday indicated its willingness to return to dialogue with the United States to de-escalate tensions.…
Iran demonstrated a willingness to resume talks with the United States on Monday, following a meeting between President Masoud Pezeshkian and Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi. The Iranian delegation expressed gratitude to Pakistan's political and military leadership for their efforts in promoting regional peace and stability.
Qatar and Pakistan have been actively involved in mediating between Iran and the US, with Qatar serving as a key intermediary. Iran has presented a list of conditions for reopening negotiations, including the cessation of fighting, the release of frozen Iranian assets, and the removal of the US naval blockade. The recent diplomatic activity follows the failure of the 14-point Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding brokered by Pakistan in June.
During his trip to Tehran, Naqvi received a warm welcome from his Iranian counterpart Eskandar Momeni. The visit comes as diplomatic efforts intensify to prevent another escalation between Iran and the US. The possibility of renewed negotiations is also gaining traction ahead of Pezeshkian's trip to New York for the UN General Assembly.
However, US restrictions on visas and sanctions on Iranian airlines pose challenges for the upcoming diplomatic efforts.
