New Delhi:
As a delicate ceasefire remains in place in the Middle East, Iran and US are set to hold a second round of talks in Pakistan on Saturday.
While US President Donald Trump is sending envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, state-run IRNA news agency said Iran will be represented by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for “bilateral consultations”.
The talks come a day after the Iran-Hezbollah ceasefire was extended by three weeks, though the war that started after US and Israel traded attacks with Iran on February 28 is nowhere near an apparent end.
The White House said emissaries would engage in an “in-person conversation” with Iranian representatives, but Iranian state media said that direct negotiations were not in the cards.
