ISLAMABAD : An American newspaper, citing Iranian officials, has reported that the first round of talks between the United States and Iran aimed at ending the war will take place in Islamabad on April 10.
According to the report, Iran has since clarified that both sides have agreed the negotiation period could be extended. The stated aim of the talks, Tehran explained, is to politically validate Iran’s battlefield successes within a maximum of 15 days.
No further details were immediately available regarding the specific agenda or whether American officials have confirmed their participation. The reported timeline suggests a compressed diplomatic window, with Iran seeking rapid political recognition of its military position on the ground.
The choice of Islamabad as a venue positions Pakistan as a potential mediator between the two long-time adversaries. There has been no official comment from the White House or the State Department on the reported talks.
