According to major foreign media outlets including AFP on June 24 (local time), Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said at a regular briefing that "the talks are expected to resume next week, possibly on Tuesday (the 30th)," but also mentioned, "It could be Monday (the 29th) or Wednesday (July 1st)."

However, he did not disclose which country will host the additional working-level talks between the United States and Iran.

Pakistan has played a mediating role since March, after the United States and Israel launched airstrikes on Iran at the end of February, which triggered the Middle East war. Previously, the first end-of-war talks between the United States and Iran were held in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, over two days starting April 11, but the two sides failed to reach an agreement. Both the United States and Iran did not attend the second round of talks, which had been expected to take place on April 21.
