Iran’s state television has denied reports that a delegation has traveled to Pakistan for talks with the United States, adding uncertainty to ongoing diplomatic efforts. According to the broadcaster, no Iranian team—whether primary or secondary—has departed for Islamabad, dismissing earlier claims that negotiations were imminent.
The statement comes as expectations had been building for a new round of U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan aimed at extending or solidifying a fragile ceasefire. However, Iranian officials indicated that participation in any negotiations depends on changes in U.S. behavior, particularly regarding pressure tactics and military actions.
Tehran has also emphasized that it will not engage in discussions “under the shadow of threats,” reflecting ongoing tensions between the two sides. The lack of a confirmed delegation suggests internal deliberations within Iran and raises doubts about whether the planned talks will proceed as expected.
With the ceasefire nearing expiration and both sides maintaining hardline positions, the absence of an Iranian delegation highlights the fragile state of diplomacy. The situation remains fluid, with uncertainty over whether negotiations will take place or if the conflict could escalate further.
