The next round of U.S.-Iran negotiations is expected to take place in Pakistan on July 11, according to a report Saturday by Al Arabiya, as the two sides continue efforts to reach a broader agreement following last month's interim accord.

The report came as Iran began a six-day state funeral Saturday for former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in a Feb. 28 U.S.-Israeli airstrike. The funeral is scheduled to conclude with Khamenei's burial on July 9.

Al Arabiya reported the talks are expected to focus on U.S. sanctions, Iran's frozen financial assets, and Tehran's nuclear program. The outlet said Iran has not yet determined who will lead its delegation, with that decision expected after the funeral ceremonies conclude.

The reported meeting would follow indirect technical talks held this week in Doha, Qatar, where U.S. and Iranian negotiators, working through Qatari and Pakistani mediators, discussed implementation of the interim agreement reached last month.

President Donald Trump has said any permanent agreement must address Iran's nuclear program, sanctions relief, and maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian officials have sought the phased release of billions of dollars in frozen assets as part of a broader settlement.

Neither Washington nor Tehran has officially confirmed the reported July 11 meeting. Pakistan, alongside Qatar, has played an increasingly prominent role in facilitating indirect contacts between the two countries as negotiators seek to turn the temporary agreement into a permanent accord.
