JAKARTA - The planned negotiations between Iran and the United States in Islamabad are expected to begin on Saturday evening at four o'clock and last for one day.

Iran's delegation is ready to face any outcome of the talks, including the possibility of no deal at all, according to a report by Iran's state television station, IRIB.

The negotiations are reportedly to be held both directly and indirectly. Pakistan is acting as a mediator because the country hopes to help bring about lasting peace in the Middle East.

The Iranian delegation was led by the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf. The delegation also included Foreign Minister (Menlu) Abbas Araghchi, Secretary of the National Security Council Ali Akbar Ahmadian, and Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati.

Meanwhile, the United States delegation was led by Vice President J. D. Vancedan, followed by special envoys of US President Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who is also Trump's son-in-law.

Trump announced an agreement with Iran on a two-week ceasefire on Tuesday (7/4).

Foreign Minister Araghchi then announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which has contributed about 20 percent of the world's oil, petroleum products, and LNG supplies.
