Grossi Says U.S.-Iran Talks May Be Held in Islamabad This Weekend

Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, has said the United States and Iran are likely to hold talks in Islamabad later this week on a wider range of issues.

Grossi told Italy’s Corriere della Sera on Wednesday, March 25, that the discussions could go beyond the nuclear file and include missiles, regional militias, and security guarantees for Tehran.

He said the upcoming round of negotiations may lead to a “temporary solution” between the two sides and stressed that a military option should not be used.

According to Grossi, the aim of the talks is to address current disputes over uranium enrichment and regional tensions through diplomacy while keeping the path open for longer-term agreements.

The reported meeting comes at a time of renewed diplomatic efforts to reduce friction between Washington and Tehran after months of regional instability.

Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt have reportedly been working to open backchannel communications and help lower tensions in the region.

Pakistan has previously said it is ready to host dialogue between the United States and Iran, a proposal that has been welcomed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

If confirmed, the Islamabad talks could mark an important step toward easing tensions and testing whether both sides remain willing to pursue diplomacy over confrontation.
