This just reconfirms what was already aired by the IRNA. The meet up again is “to review proposals for resolving the ongoing dispute with the US”. For some context, this was Mohsin Naqvi’s second trip to Tehran in less than a week as Pakistan continues to step up mediation efforts in trying to get something done.

That being said, Iran foreign minister Araghchi was quick to dismiss this as being a breakthrough moment in calling out the US on its “contradictory, excessive, and hypocritical behaviour”. He did thank Pakistan for its mediation efforts though.

So, it remains to be seen if there will be anything done by the weekend. And if not, we’re going to be in for another week of constant back-and-forth with the same headlines all over again next week.
