Iran-US talks expected to resume after state funeral period
The technical-level Iran-US talks floated for July 11, 2026 in Islamabad were not confirmed as having convened by the US, Iranian, or Pakistani governments as of that date. The ceasefire came under strain after Trump said on July 7 it was over, followed by renewed US-Iran strikes on July 8-10, and Iranian officials denied media reports that talks were resuming.
