Islamabad signals progress toward broader regional agreement

Diplomatic efforts between the United States and Iran are showing tentative signs of progress, with officials in Islamabad indicating that a preliminary framework for negotiations may be taking shape, Al Jazeera reported.

The report said that the effort is being mediated by Pakistan, which remains hopeful of convening a second round of talks.

Regional involvement is also emerging as a key factor, with Gulf countries seeking inclusion in any agreement to avoid being sidelined as they were during the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

Diplomats say discussions are ongoing, with cautious optimism that a broader settlement could eventually be reached.
