Pakistan is stepping up efforts to revive Iran-US talks, but the situation remains uncertain as Tehran signals hesitation. The country is actively trying to bring both sides back to the negotiating table after earlier discussions failed to produce a breakthrough.
Officials say preparations for the next phase of Iran-US talks are mostly complete. Both Washington and Islamabad appear ready to move forward. A US delegation is expected to visit Pakistan, with arrangements already in place for potential meetings. This has raised hopes that dialogue could resume soon.
However, Iran’s position is far from clear. Recent statements from Tehran show a lack of trust in Washington. Iranian officials have openly questioned the United States’ commitment to diplomacy, pointing to past actions they believe weakened the negotiation process.
Iran has also linked its reluctance to ongoing regional tensions. Issues like the naval blockade and recent incidents at sea have made the environment more complicated. Tehran insists that current conditions are not suitable for meaningful Iran-US talks and has indicated it may not send a delegation.
Despite this, behind-the-scenes diplomacy continues. Pakistan remains in close contact with both sides and is trying to ease tensions. Earlier rounds of Iran-US talks in Islamabad showed some progress, even though no final agreement was reached.
Experts believe the current situation reflects a mix of pressure tactics and real concerns. While public statements from Iran appear firm, there are signs that dialogue has not been completely ruled out.
For now, the future of Iran-US talks depends on whether both sides can rebuild trust and agree on basic conditions. Pakistan’s role as a mediator remains central, but the path to a deal still looks uncertain.
