Al Arabiya reported that U.S. and Iranian negotiators are expected to hold a meeting in Pakistan on July 11 to pursue a broader agreement after last month’s interim accord. The talks are said to focus on U.S. sanctions, billions in frozen Iranian financial assets and Tehran’s nuclear program, and follow indirect technical discussions in Doha mediated by Qatar and Pakistan. Iran has not yet named who will lead its delegation, a decision said to come after state funeral ceremonies conclude on July 9. Neither Washington nor Tehran has officially confirmed the reported meeting.

Talks could decide sanctions, frozen funds and nuclear terms.
