Abbas Araghchi returned to the Pakistani capital, as reported by the official Iranian agency, Irna. This visit comes as part of the ongoing negotiations to restart talks aimed at ending the war in the Middle East. It is notable that Iran is seeking to convey its positions and perspectives on the framework of any agreement during these discussions. The U.S. envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, planned to visit Pakistan on Saturday but the trip was canceled by Donald Trump. Meanwhile, reports indicate that Trump remains steadfast in his stance towards Iran, despite unrelated incidents of violence in Washington. In the diplomatic sphere, Abbas Araghchi engaged in discussions with French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, emphasizing the need to continue discussions despite the absence of a lasting agreement. Further developments include Israeli military actions in Lebanon resulting in casualties, with an Israeli soldier killed in the southern region of Lebanon.
