DEVELOPING — Talks resume AFTER working dinner: Al Jazeera reporting negotiations in Pakistan are back on after dinner break. Both delegations met with PM Shehbaz Sharif before resuming. 131K+ now listening live on the Nawfal X Space. Here's what the dinner break tells us: Working dinners in diplomacy aren't social. They're where the real conversations happen — away from cameras, without formal positions on the table. The fact that BOTH delegations — Iranian and American — met separately with Pakistan's PM before resuming means Islamabad is actively shuttling positions, testing red lines, and narrowing gaps. This is classic mediation structure: → Joint session (formal positions) → Separate meetings with mediator (real positions) → Working dinner (relationship building) → Resume with narrowed differences We're now deep into the most productive phase of any negotiation — the one that happens when the suits come off and the real deal-making begins. If they're still talking past midnight Islamabad time, that's a very good sign. #IranUSTalks #Islamabad
