Iran will decide whether to hold a new round of negotiations with the United States after conducting an internal review of its meeting with the Pakistani delegation, according to Press TV on April 15, 2026.
Iranian officials are currently assessing the latest messages delivered by Pakistan, which is acting as the main mediator between Tehran and Washington.
Ongoing Diplomatic Efforts
The Pakistani delegation visited Iran to discuss arrangements for a possible second round of indirect talks following the collapse of the first round in Islamabad last weekend. Iran has not yet committed to a new meeting, with the final decision expected after internal consultations in Tehran.
Significant differences remain on core issues, including Iran’s nuclear programme, the fate of its enriched uranium stockpile, sanctions relief, and ensuring the ceasefire fully covers Lebanon.
Fragile Ceasefire Context
The current two-week ceasefire, which includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz for international shipping, remains in effect but is under strain due to continued military activity in Lebanon and limited shipping traffic in the Gulf.
Pakistan continues to push for a second round of talks as the ceasefire window narrows. Iranian state media described the process as cautious but ongoing, with Tehran carefully weighing its next steps.
