On June 24, 2026, Pakistan's foreign office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi stated that talks between the United States and Iran are expected to resume the following week, likely on Tuesday. Andrabi described the pause as a 'temporary gap' rather than a break, noting that Pakistan's delegation will be present when talks resume. The U.S. and Iran recently signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at restoring peace in West Asia, and engaged in technical-level talks in Burgenstock, Switzerland on June 22, with Pakistan and Qatar as mediators. The parties agreed on a 60-day roadmap toward a final peace deal. The statement comes amid ongoing regional tensions and follows an earlier deal between the two countries that some Iranian officials characterized as a 'declaration of U.S. defeat.' Neither the U.S. nor Iran has yet confirmed the resumption date.

Pakistan has said talks between the U.S. and Iran are expected to resume next week.
In a statement issued late on Wednesday (June 24, 2026), Pakistan's foreign office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said “parties are on the table” and that the process was going on.
The U.S. and Iran last week signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at restoring peace in West Asia.
Earlier this week, they engaged in technical-level talks in Switzerland's Burgenstock, in the presence of mediators Pakistan, which has signed the memorandum as a “guarantor”, and Qatar, following which they agreed on a roadmap towards a final peace deal in 60 days.
“Talks are continuing. I believe that the talks will resume next week, probably on Tuesday... Basically, this is a temporary gap, and it is not as such a break,” Mr. Andrabi was quoted as saying in the statement.
“Our delegation was there in Burgenstock for the 22nd June talks. I understand that our delegation will also be there when the talks resume next week,” he added.
He also said the expected resumption of talks between the U.S. and Iran next week was a "positive development".
However, the U.S. and Iran have not yet said anything on the possible resumption of talks.
