The specific venue for negotiations with the United States is not a decisive factor for Tehran, as it is viewed only as a component of the broader diplomatic process.
Iran's Ambassador to Italy, Mohammad Reza Sabouri, made these remarks in an interview with the TASS news agency, Operative Information Center-OMM reports. The diplomat emphasized that the primary focus of the Iranian government remains on the substance and quality of the potential agreement rather than the geographical location of the meetings.
According to the ambassador, Tehran is closely monitoring the mediation efforts provided by the Pakistani authorities and is taking their initiatives into account. Sabouri noted that Islamabad is being considered as one of the possible venues for consultations between Iran and the administration of US President Donald Trump. He stressed that the priority for Tehran is achieving a "fair and balanced agreement," and all diplomatic efforts should be directed toward this objective. The diplomat added that a constructive mutual approach is essential for the dialogue to yield result-oriented outcomes.
Diplomatic relations between Tehran and Washington have historically relied on third-party intermediaries to facilitate communication on regional security and nuclear non-proliferation. Pakistan has frequently played a strategic role as a bridge between the two nations, leveraging its geographical position and diplomatic ties. The potential for renewed dialogue comes as the international community monitors the foreign policy direction of the administration under US President Donald Trump, particularly regarding stability in the Middle East and global energy security.
