While the Iran-US negotiations in Islamabad have moved beyond general issues and entered technical discussions in some cases, there is speculation about a possible one-day extension of the talks, although this has not yet been confirmed.

Iran and the US start peace deal negotiations mediated by Pakistan in Islamabad.

on Saturday afternoon that following initial talks and consultations, the dialogue between the Iranian and American delegations has now progressed past some general points and entered details and technical discussions on certain topics.

Accordingly, experts from both sides are examining the details of some issues.

Although the negotiations were initially planned as a one-day session, there is a possibility that they may be extended by an additional day to continue expert-level discussions. However, this has not yet been finalized.

Following the assassination of late Leader of the Iran,s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and several military commanders on February 28, the US and Israel launched an extensive military offensive against Iran. In response, the Iranian Armed Forces carried out attacks on American and Israeli positions in the region and the occupied territories, showcasing their capability to retaliate effectively. Contrary to the aggressors` expectations of a quick victory, Iran`s powerful counterattacks for 40 days inflicted significant damage on US and Israeli military assets.

In an effort to de-escalate the situation, Pakistani mediation led to a two-week ceasefire agreement on April 8 that allows for negotiations in Islamabad. Iran has laid out a ten-point plan for the talks, which includes demands for the withdrawal of US forces, the lifting of sanctions, and control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian government maintains a stance of distrust towards the US, asserting that the negotiations are not meant to resolve the conflict but rather to shift the battleground into the diplomatic arena.

A high-ranking delegation from Iran led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf arrived in Islamabad on Friday to participate in the negotiations with the US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance.

The talks come several days after Iran said it had agreed to a Pakistani-mediated ceasefire that could pave the way for a permanent end to the US-Israeli aggression on the country that started in late February.

Iran accepted the ceasefire after US authorities indicated they were ready to negotiate based on a 10-point framework formulated by Iran, which included major conditions like the permanent end to US-Israeli attacks on Iran and its allies in the region, the removal of sanctions on Iran, and compensation for the war of aggression imposed on the country.
