US, Iran likely to hold second round of peace talks in Pakistan
The White House said on Wednesday that a second round of peace talks between the United States and Iran is likely to take place in Pakistan, expressing optimism about the prospects of reaching a deal as Pakistan intensified diplomatic efforts.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that discussions were ongoing regarding the next phase of negotiations, adding that Islamabad will be the venue for the second round of talks.
“Those discussions are being had, and we feel good about the prospects of a deal,” she said, noting that further talks would “very likely” be held in Islamabad.
Leavitt praised Pakistan’s role in facilitating dialogue between Washington and Tehran, describing it as central to the ongoing process.
“The Pakistanis have been incredible mediators throughout this process and we really appreciate their friendship and their efforts to bring this deal to a close,” she said.
Pakistan maintains a friendly relationship with the United States, while also sharing deep historical, cultural, and border-linked ties with Iran — placing it in a unique position to facilitate dialogue.
During the first round of talks in Islamabad, the US negotiation team was led by US Vice President JD Vance, and the Iranian delegation was led by Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf.
