Amid uncertainty over direct ceasefire talks between the US and Iran to end the six-week conflict, the possibility of a three-way meeting involving host country Pakistan has emerged, contingent on certain preconditions being met.
So, what are those preconditions? As of now, Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has already met US Vice President JD Vance. If reports are to be believed, Pakistani officials are meeting US delegates directly, while separately engaging with Iranian delegates, including Tehran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Al Jazeera reported from Islamabad that Iran will enter into trilateral talks with the US and Pakistan only after certain preconditions -- such as the cessation of Israeli strikes on Lebanon and a ceasefire -- are met.
