Available reports indicate that Pakistan is set to host the next round of high-stakes negotiations between the United States and Iran on July 11. The talks are expected to focus on three key issues: US sanctions on Iran, Tehran’s frozen financial assets, and the future of its nuclear program.
According to the reports, Iran’s delegation for the negotiations has not yet been finalized and is expected to be determined following the funeral ceremonies for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
The meeting would follow Pakistan’s role as a facilitator in diplomacy between Washington and Tehran, which contributed to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in June. The MoU established a framework for continued engagement and a 60-day timeline to pursue a broader agreement. The reported July 11 negotiations are expected to advance discussions under this framework.

This will be the third round of such talks, with the previous two held in Burgenstock, Switzerland, and Doha, Qatar. Pakistan is set to participate as a mediator and facilitator in the discussions.
Ahead of the talks, a high-level Iranian delegation led by Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni is scheduled to visit Pakistan. The visit is planned to occur after the funeral of Iran’s late Supreme Leader on July 9. The delegation will reportedly include officials from various sectors, including agriculture, industry, trade, and foreign affairs, with the aim of strengthening bilateral ties.
Diplomatic sources indicated that Tehran considers Islamabad a suitable venue for the negotiations due to Pakistan’s strong relations with both Iran and Gulf states.

Diplomatic sources have indicated that Islamabad is the leading venue for the next round of technical negotiations between the United States and Iran, expected on July 11. The talks aim to advance the framework of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, which was signed two weeks prior and allows 60 days for a comprehensive agreement. In addition to Iran’s nuclear programme, sanctions, and frozen assets, the discussions are also expected to cover regional security issues, including the Strait of Hormuz and the ceasefire in Lebanon. Commenting on the diplomatic efforts, Shehbaz Sharif described Pakistan’s mediation role as a “difficult and complex responsibility.”
In what is being described as a significant diplomatic development, reports claim that the United States has extended a “major offer” to Iran.
This comes as discussions continue about the possibility of Pakistan hosting the next round of talks between the two nations.
