ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Two regional officials say that the United States and Iran have signaled they will hold a new round of the ceasefire talks in Islamabad.
The officials’ comments come as neither the US nor Iran have publicly confirmed the timing of the talks, with Iranian state television denying any official was already in Pakistan’s capital.
Pakistan-led mediators received confirmation that the top negotiators, US Vice President JD Vance and Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, will arrive in Islamabad early tomorrow to lead their teams in the talks, the officials tell The Associated Press.
The officials speak on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.
