“Since Sunday, when the Iranian delegation returned to Tehran, several messages have been exchanged through Pakistan,” said foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei in a weekly press briefing.
“Today, we are very likely to receive a Pakistani delegation as a continuation of the discussions in Islamabad,” he added.
Baqaei said that during the Islamabad talks, Iran asked for its frozen assets to be freed, but that no conclusion was reached, Reuters reported citing state media.
It is being widely speculated that negotiating teams from the US and Iran could return to Pakistan to resume negotiations to end the war days after the first peace talks ended without a breakthrough.
No date has been set and no location has been officially agreed on, but US President Donald Trump, speaking to the New York Post on Tuesday, said talks to end the Iran war could resume in Pakistan over the next two days.
A fragile ceasefire remains in place until next week, despite the United States ordering a naval blockade of Iran.
A senior US official said on Wednesday that the US has not formally agreed to extend its two-week ceasefire with Iran after reports that Trump’s administration had consented in principle to lengthen the truce.
“The United States has not formally agreed to an extension of the ceasefire,” the official told AFP on condition of anonymity. “There is continued engagement between the US and Iran to reach a deal.”
