The upcoming visit of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Islamabad occurs as Pakistan assumes a central role in facilitating a new diplomatic process between Tehran and Washington. Recent talks in Switzerland, jointly mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, resulted in a 60-day roadmap aimed at securing a comprehensive agreement between the US and Iran.

This negotiation process is the first high-level engagement under the “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding,” a Pakistan-brokered accord. Key outcomes from the talks include the establishment of a high-level committee to oversee mediation, a dedicated communication channel to prevent accidental escalation in the Strait of Hormuz, and a de-confliction cell for Lebanon.
