Iran-U.S. talks in Islamabad held via indirect, direct channels: sources
The Iran-U.S. peace talks were conducted first indirectly through Pakistan and later through direct negotiations between the two sides, official sources said.
Pakistan remained involved at every stage of the process, with the talks beginning with separate meetings of the US and Iranian delegations with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
This was followed by an exchange of messages between the two sides through Pakistani interlocutors, the sources said.
According to sources, the negotiations then moved to direct talks between the visiting delegations, which continued for about two-and-a-half hours in the presence of Pakistani officials.
In the next phase, a one-hour break was taken and technical aspects of the demands presented by the two sides were discussed at the expert level. The exchange of messages on technical aspects continued until late at night.
