Rubio meets Pakistani FM amid talks on Iran war
Washington, United States, May 29 (AFP) May 29, 2026
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with his Pakistani counterpart at the State Department in Washington on Friday, as negotiations aimed at ending the war with Iran drag on.

The meeting with Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar -- whose country is acting as mediator between the United States and Iran -- came days after Rubio's visit to India, Pakistan's historic rival.

The two officials did not address the press.

Vice President JD Vance said late Thursday that progress had been made toward an agreement between the United States and Iran.

On Friday, Iran's Tasnim news agency, citing a source, said the text had not yet been finalized and that the wording of the potential memorandum of understanding had "undergone some changes in recent days."
