Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf To Lead Iran Delegation To Islamabad For Talks With US
A major diplomatic engagement between the United States and Iran is set to take place in Islamabad, Pakistan, on Friday, April 10, 2026, where both sides will hold direct talks aimed at ending weeks of intense hostilities following the outbreak of war earlier this year, reported Iranian news agency ISNA.
The meeting follows an immediate ceasefire agreement that was announced and welcomed by Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who also extended invitations to both delegations for further negotiations on Friday.
According to Iranian state media reports, the Iranian delegation will be led by Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, a central figure in Tehran's wartime leadership structure who has taken on strategic responsibilities since the early phase of the conflict. The United States delegation, meanwhile, will be headed by Vice President James David Vance.
