Pakistani officials have reported receiving positive signals from Iran regarding the resumption of face-to-face negotiations. This development comes amid ongoing tensions in the Persian Gulf, where Iran recently intercepted three vessels, including two from the Mediterranean Shipping Company and one registered in Greece. Despite these maritime incidents, Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif met with the Iranian ambassador, expressing optimism about bringing the U.S. and Iran back to the negotiating table. A Pakistani official indicated that a second round of negotiations could occur in the coming days, signaling potential progress in diplomatic efforts.
