The fragile ceasefire diplomacy in the Middle East appeared on shaky grounds after Iran’s envoy to Pakistan briefly announced the arrival of a negotiating team in Islamabad, only to delete the post minutes later, fuelling questions over timing and coordination ahead of crucial talks with the United States.
Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, wrote on X that a delegation would arrive “tonight in Islamabad for serious talks based on 10 points proposed by Iran”, adding that the visit came despite “scepticism” among Iranians over repeated ceasefire violations by Israel. The message was swiftly taken down, with an embassy official later saying it had been posted prematurely. “Timing — we were not supposed to send it,” the official said, declining to confirm whether the delegation would still arrive as planned.
