Iran has shared a “workable framework” with Pakistan aimed at permanently ending the US war, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday, Anadolu reports.
In a post on the US social media company X following a visit to Pakistan, Araghchi said discussions focused on efforts to restore stability in the region and end the conflict.
“We shared Iran’s position concerning a workable framework to permanently end the war on Iran,” he said, without providing further details.
Araghchi described the trip as “very fruitful,” praising Pakistan’s role in facilitating dialogue and its “brotherly efforts” to help bring peace back to the region.
He also expressed skepticism about Washington’s intentions.
“Have yet to see if the U.S. is truly serious about diplomacy,” he said.
Pakistan has been acting as an intermediary between Tehran and Washington amid ongoing tensions following recent military escalation.

Araghchi arrived in Pakistan late Friday and met with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad on Saturday, amid efforts to revive stalled peace talks between the US and Iran to end their eight-week war. He will also travel to Muscat and Moscow.
The first round was held in Islamabad two weeks ago but failed to reach an agreement to end the conflict that began on Feb. 28 and engulfed the entire Middle East. Those talks came after Pakistan brokered a two-week ceasefire on April 8, which was later extended by US President Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump on Saturday said that he has cancelled a planned trip to Pakistan by special envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner.
“I’ve told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, ‘Nope, you’re not making an 18 hour flight to go there. We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you’re not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing’,” Trump told Fox News via phone.
Iran has refused to hold direct talks with the US and said observations would be conveyed to Pakistan.
Some of the sticking points are said to be the Strait of Hormuz, the US blockade of Iranian ports, and Iran’s enriched uranium.
