Summary
A Pakistani delegation is due in Iran today to deliver messages from the United States, Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said at a weekly press briefing. The visit follows discussions that Pakistan hosted on Saturday and comes after multiple exchanges of messages since Iran's delegation returned home from those talks.
Details of the visit
According to Baghaei, the Pakistani delegation is expected to arrive in Tehran today for the purpose of conveying U.S. messages to Iranian officials. He made the remarks during a weekly press conference and they were carried by state media. Baghaei said that, since the Iranian delegation returned from the Pakistan-hosted talks on Saturday, several messages have been exchanged between the parties.
The spokesperson added that it is highly probable Iran will host the Pakistani delegation on Wednesday, describing the visit as a continuation of the discussions that took place in Pakistan.
Scope of the Saturday discussions
Baghaei said the Saturday talks, which were hosted by Pakistan, covered three main topics: a full end to war, the lifting of sanctions, and compensation for damages from U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran. He described these issues as the subjects addressed during that meeting.
Pakistan has been serving as an intermediary for communications between Tehran and Washington, facilitating the exchange of messages and hosting talks, according to the statements reported by state media.
What remains unclear
The statements reported do not provide further detail on the content of the messages to be delivered today, the identities of the Pakistani delegates, or any agreed next steps beyond the likely hosting of the Pakistani delegation on Wednesday. No additional comments on outcomes or responses from the United States or Iran were included in the remarks reported by state media.
For now, the publicly disclosed record consists of Baghaei's account of the timeline and the topics discussed on Saturday, along with the role Pakistan has played as an intermediary.
