JAKARTA - Iranian Foreign Minister (Menlu) Abbas Araghchi and a small delegation are reportedly on their way to Islamabad, Pakistan.

Al Jazeera reported that sources in the Pakistani Government said Araghchi and his team were scheduled to hold a face-to-face meeting tonight after arriving in Islamabad.

The sources added that Araghchi and the Iranian delegation team left after discussions with the Pakistani mediation team through two phone calls.

The two phone calls were with the Pakistani Foreign Minister and the Chief of the Pakistani Defense Forces, Field Marshal Asim Munir.

The source from the Pakistani government suspected a major breakthrough in peace talks between the United States (US) and Iran in Islamabad.

According to another source, there has been progress in the issue of the US forces' blockade of ships entering and leaving the Strait of Hormuz.

Until now, it is still unclear about the departure of Araghchi and Iran's small mediation team to Islamabad,

Two days ago, US President Donald Trump also hoped that the second round of US-Iranian negotiations in Islamabad could take place within 36 to 72 hours.
