Iran has made it clear there are no plans for further US talks in Islamabad, as tensions between the two sides continue to grow. Officials in Tehran say recent actions by Washington have damaged trust and stalled any chance of progress.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said the country does not see any reason to return to the table right now. He stressed that past behavior from the United States shows a pattern that does not lead to positive outcomes. According to him, Iran has already informed the Pakistani mediator about its concerns.
He accused the US of breaking the ceasefire from the very beginning. Baqaei pointed to a naval blockade and attacks on Iranian assets, including a strike on one of its vessels. He said these actions not only violated the agreement but also went against international law.
Baqaei added that Iran still remembers earlier incidents during previous talks. He said those events continue to shape Tehran’s position today. Iran, he noted, will always act to protect its national interests.
He also warned that any new aggression by the United States or Israel would be met with a firm response from Iran’s armed forces. Despite tensions, Baqaei said Iran had shared a 10-point proposal during discussions in Islamabad, showing its willingness to engage in dialogue under fair conditions.
The spokesperson highlighted that the Strait of Hormuz remained secure before recent developments. He blamed the current instability on actions taken by the US and its allies.
Baqaei further criticized Washington’s stance on ceasefire arrangements. He said the US denied that the Lebanon ceasefire was part of any agreement, even after Iran clarified the matter through diplomatic channels.
Iran maintains that repeated violations and attacks on its infrastructure and personnel have made negotiations difficult. For now, Tehran insists there are no plans for further US talks in Islamabad unless there is a clear change in approach.
