Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Pakistan on Friday evening ahead of a second round of peace talks with the United States, in an effort to restore calm in the region.

Shortly after Araghchi’s arrival, his ministry clarified that any talks between Tehran and Washington would be indirect, with messages conveyed to Pakistani officials instead.
Araghchi wasted no time and met late Friday with Pakistan Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir.
On Saturday morning, he met with Munir and Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, officials said.
US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are also due to head to Pakistan on Saturday. Vice President JD Vance will not attend but will instead be on standby in case his presence is “necessary,” the White House said.
A first round of negotiations already took place in Pakistan earlier this month but both sides failed to reach a deal.
Pakistan has emerged as the leading mediator in efforts to end the war, with an initial round of negotiations already held in the capital earlier this month.
However, both sides failed to reach a deal, and as a result, Iran was initially reluctant to send another delegation to Islamabad for a second round.
Islamabad appeared to be under near-lockdown on Saturday morning, with soldiers and police stationed at key intersections, posted on rooftops overlooking major roads, and helicopters circling overhead. Checkpoints, road closures and diversions across the city, particularly near the so-called “red zone” surrounding the negotiation venue.
Commercial flights resume at Tehran’s airport
Meanwhile, Iran has resumed commercial flights at Tehran’s international airport on Saturday, the first time its done so since the conflict with the US and Israel broke out late February.
Flights bound for Istanbul, Oman’s capital of Muscat and the Saudi city of Medina departed from the Imam Khomeini International Airport, Iran’s state-run media reported.
Three Istanbul-bound flights were seen departing on Saturday morning on the Flightradar24 tracking platform.
Iran’s airspace has largely remained closed since 28 February, but partially reopened earlier this month when the first ceasefire was announced.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has apologized to the Canadian town of Tumbler Ridge following a February mass shooting that left eight dead.
Altman said he was “deeply sorry” the company didn’t alert the police about the shooter’s troubling ChatGPT accounts.
Britich Colombia Primier David Eby called the apology “necessary, and yet grossly insufficient.”
How did OpenAI fail to act?
An 18-year-old transgender woman killed her mother and stepbrother at home on February 10, before going to a local secondary school and opening fire. She killed five children and a teacher, then took her own life.
After the attack, OpenAI said it had identified the suspect’s account through its abuse detection systems and banned it in June, eight months before the shooting.
The ChatGPT developer said it did not report the account to Canadian police at the time, as the activity did not meet its threshold for referral to law enforcement.
“I am deeply sorry that we did not alert law enforcement to the account that was banned in June,” Altman said. “While I know words can never be enough, I believe an apology is necessary to recognize the harm and irreversible loss your community has suffered.”
How does ChatGPT report suspected violance?
OpenAI says it uses automated moderation systems that scan content in real time. Accounts can be restricted or banned for violating the rules. Violations include sexual exploitation, support of self-harm and suicide, and promotion of violence and harm.
In serious cases, systems are designed to flag high-risk behavior for human review. If a credible threat is identified, the company may share relevant account data with law enforcement.
Following the attack, Canadian officials summoned OpenAI’s safety team and warned of regulation actions if changes were not made. The company said it would tighten its safety measures and had created a direct contact channel with police.
In the letter, Altman said the company is committed to find ways to prevent similar tragedies. “Going forward, our focus will continue to be on working with all levels of government to help ensure something like this never happens again,” he said.
The family of a girl who was seriously injured in the shooting has filed a negligence lawsuit against the US tech giant.
