Pakistan has said no dates have been set yet for a second round of US-Iran talks, despite growing speculation that negotiations could resume soon. Officials in Islamabad say the timing and venue are still being reviewed, even as Geneva and Islamabad remain the leading options.
Talks still pending
The key point is that the next meeting is not yet locked in. Reports suggest US officials are open to another in-person round before the current ceasefire expires, but there is still no final agreement on when or where that will happen. Pakistan’s role remains that of facilitator rather than final decision maker, which means any talk of a confirmed date is premature.
Islamabad’s role
Pakistan has positioned itself as an important mediator because it maintains workable ties with both Washington and Tehran. That makes Islamabad a natural candidate to host or facilitate the next stage of dialogue, but officials are signalling that the process is still fluid and dependent on progress in back-channel diplomacy. In practical terms, Pakistan is keeping the door open without overcommitting to a timeline that could collapse under pressure.
Why it matters
The uncertainty matters because the ceasefire window is limited and tensions around the Strait of Hormuz remain high. If the next round slips too far, the risk of renewed escalation rises sharply. So while talk of a second round is very much alive, Pakistan’s message is clear: the diplomatic channel exists, but no formal date has yet been announced.
