"A Pakistani official told Axios that the meeting with Araghchi will focus on relaunching negotiations with the Trump administration. A trilateral meeting with the U.S. will be assessed after our meeting with Araghchi."
"Vice President Vance, who led the U.S. negotiating team in the previous round, will not make the trip. A U.S. official and a source with knowledge said Ghalibaf grew frustrated with the infighting in the Iranian leadership after the previous round of talks."
"He was talking to other officials in Iran about resignation and considering it, but he has not done it yet."
"Vance will be on standby to travel to Pakistan if talks progress. He's expected to participate in phone calls with the team on the ground as needed."
Araghchi is set to arrive in Islamabad for discussions with Pakistani leaders, focusing on reviving negotiations with the Trump administration. A trilateral meeting with the U.S. will be evaluated post-meeting. Araghchi's itinerary includes travel to Muscat and Moscow, creating uncertainty about U.S. envoy meetings. Vice President Vance, who led previous negotiations, will not attend due to the absence of his Iranian counterpart. He remains on standby for potential travel if talks advance, with his team joining U.S. officials in Pakistan.
