Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi returned to Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, on April 26, Iranian state media reported, a day after he left for Oman during a trip tied to mediation over ceasefire talks with the United States.

According to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency and Yonhap, Araghchi traveled back to Islamabad immediately after meeting with Oman’s Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said.

After arriving in Pakistan again, Araghchi met with Army Chief Gen. Asim Munir and other officials, the reports said.

Tasnim news agency said Araghchi “delivered specific conditions” for the ceasefire negotiations.

Araghchi began a trip to Pakistan, Oman and Russia on April 24.

His arrival in Pakistan, described as a mediator, had raised expectations that a second round of ceasefire talks with the United States would move forward.

But after meeting Munir and conveying Iran’s views and demands on a ceasefire, Araghchi left for Oman on April 25, making it difficult to predict whether the talks with the United States would continue, the reports said.
