António Guterres has said there is a “high probability” that diplomatic talks aimed at ending the Iran conflict will restart in the near future, as international efforts to revive negotiations continue.
Speaking to reporters, the UN Secretary-General said the United Nations has received indications that discussions between key parties could resume within days, although no final timetable has been confirmed.
His remarks come after former US President Donald Trump suggested that talks involving Iran could restart shortly, with Pakistan being mentioned as a possible venue for future negotiations.
Guterres said he recently met Pakistan’s deputy prime minister and welcomed the country’s efforts to support peace initiatives. He stressed that continued dialogue is essential, warning that complex conflicts cannot be resolved in a single round of talks.
He also called for a ceasefire to remain in place while diplomatic efforts continue, saying stability on the ground is necessary for meaningful negotiations.
Pakistan’s role has gained attention in recent weeks as international actors look for possible mediators to help restart communication between opposing sides. Trump also praised Pakistan’s army chief, Asim Munir, describing him as active in supporting discussions.
However, despite growing diplomatic signals, officials say major uncertainties remain and no official date has been set for renewed talks.
For now, global leaders continue to push for a return to negotiations, hoping to prevent further escalation and create space for a long-term settlement.
