ISLAMABAD: The Wall Street Journal has reported that talks between the United States and Iran are expected to resume next week in Islamabad.
According to the report, both countries are working through intermediaries to prepare a 14-point memorandum of understanding, which could pave the way for a month-long negotiation process aimed at de-escalating ongoing tensions and preventing a potential military confrontation.
The proposed draft reportedly covers key issues including Iran’s nuclear program, reducing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, and transferring Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles to another country.
The report also notes that several critical issues remain unresolved, with the potential easing of sanctions on Iran emerging as a major point of disagreement that could hinder the negotiation process. If initial talks show progress, the one-month negotiation period could be extended by mutual agreement.
The initiative reflects continued diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region and address long-standing disputes through dialogue rather than escalation.
