Iran has officially confirmed that it will take part in the upcoming peace negotiations with the United States in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The confirmation came after a telephone conversation on Wednesday between Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. During the warm and constructive call, President Pezeshkian thanked Pakistan for its mediation efforts and clearly stated that Iran would participate in the talks.
The negotiations are scheduled to begin on Friday, 10 April 2026, in Islamabad. Both sides aim to build on the recent two-week ceasefire agreement and work towards a durable and comprehensive peace framework. The talks will focus on long-term stability in the region, including issues related to the Strait of Hormuz and broader tensions.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif appreciated Iran’s positive response and invited delegations from both Iran and the US to Islamabad. He expressed hope that the “Islamabad Talks” would lead to a lasting solution to the conflict. Both leaders agreed to remain in close contact during the process.
Pakistan has played a key role in mediating between the two countries. The move has been welcomed internationally as an important step towards de-escalation in the Middle East. Many observers believe successful talks in Islamabad could bring much-needed peace and stability to the region.
