The Iranian Parliament Speaker Leads Delegation to Pakistan for Talks with the United States
According to Iran's Press TV, the Iranian delegation for U.S.-Iran negotiations, led by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, includes Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Akbar Aghaee, and Central Bank Governor Abdolnasser Hemmati.
The television station announced on its Telegram channel: "Accompanying Ghalibaf are Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Akbar Aghaee, Central Bank Governor Abdolnasser Hemmati, and several members of parliament."
U.S. Vice President Vance has already flown to Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, leading the American delegation to negotiate with Iran.
The talks are expected to take place on Saturday morning local time. The U.S. delegation will also include U.S. President’s special envoy Witkowsky and Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Trump.
President Donald Trump announced early Wednesday that he had reached a two-week ceasefire agreement with Iran. Subsequently, Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated that the United States had accepted Iran's ten-point proposals, and Tehran would soon hold negotiations with the U.S. in Islamabad.
However, Iran stated that Lebanon was part of the ceasefire agreement, and that the truce had been violated due to continued Israeli attacks on Lebanon. Meanwhile, Trump claimed that Lebanon was not included in this ceasefire agreement.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that whether negotiations between the U.S. and Iran regarding ending the conflict can proceed depends on compliance with ceasefire commitments across all fronts.
