Pakistan, April 27 -- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was back in Pakistan on Sunday, a diplomatic source told, a day after he left Islamabad for a visit to Oman as part of a tri-nation tour.

He is undertaking the trip against the backdrop of ongoing diplomatic efforts, notably by Pakistan, to bring Tehran and Washington to the table to talks aimed at ending the conflict that began with US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28.

Araghchi arrived at the Nur Khan air base in Rawalpindi after completing a day-long visit to Oman, the diplomatic source said, adding that he would meet with senior Pakistani officials during his short stay in Islamabad.

The Iranian foreign minister will then depart for Moscow, he added.
