The top Iranian diplomat and his delegation held a series of high-profile meetings with Pakistani officials in Islamabad on April 25.
Araqchi left Pakistan on Saturday night for Muscat, where he met with Omani Sultan Haitham bin Tariq on Sunday.
The Iranian foreign minister went back to Islamabad on Sunday evening. He is expected to hold another round of consultations with Pakistani authorities about the latest regional developments and convey Tehran’s views about a ceasefire in the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran.
After his stopover in Islamabad, Araqchi will travel to Russia.
On February 28, the United States and the Israeli regime launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran, during which then Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and several senior military officials were martyred.
Iranian Armed Forces responded with weeks of missile and drone strikes targeting American and Israeli military positions in the occupied territories and the Persian Gulf region, inflicting heavy damages in 100 waves of counterattacks over a period of 40 days.
A Pakistani-mediated ceasefire lasting two weeks was reached on April 8, paving the way for talks in Islamabad. During those negotiations, Iran put forward a ten-point proposal that included the withdrawal of US forces and the removal of sanctions.
However, after 21 hours of negotiations on April 11 and 12, the sides failed to reach a deal, with Iranian representatives pointing to deep mistrust regarding Washington’s willingness to honor its commitments.
Iran has made clear that any return to ceasefire negotiations depends on the lifting of the US naval blockade. Officials have argued that the continued blockade constitutes a violation of the truce.
