RIYADH (Dunya News) - The next round of negotiations between the United States and Iran is expected to take place in Pakistan on July 11, where the two sides are set to discuss several key issues.

According to Arab media, the talks will focus on US sanctions imposed on Iran, the release of Iran’s frozen assets, and matters related to Tehran’s nuclear programme.

Al Arabiya reported that a final decision on the leadership of the Iranian delegation will be made after the burial of Iran’s late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The report further stated that an official announcement regarding the composition of the Iranian delegation is expected once the funeral proceedings have concluded.

Earlier, tens of thousands of Iranians thronged a vast outdoor prayer complex in Tehran on Saturday to view the coffin of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ruled the Islamic Republic for 37 years before being killed at the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Dressed in black and draped in the red, white and green flags of the Islamic Republic of Iran, mourners held up posters and A4 printed sheets with pictures of Khamenei and his son and successor as supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei.

Iran is staging mass funeral processions for Khamenei, who was killed in February by the opening airstrikes of the war launched by the US and Israel, in a show of public devotion to the Islamic Republic's theocratic state and revolutionary zeal.
