Iran’s state media has completely rejected the reports which claimed that the Iranian delegation has reached Islamabad. After this statement came from Iran, it is believed that hardly any talks will take place now.

What did Iran say?

Iran’s Tasnim News Agency was quoted as saying that Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baghar Kalibaf are both present in Tehran and busy in their work. Iran clearly says that there will be no talks at present. According to a source, the talks will remain stalled until America fully implements the terms of the ceasefire in Lebanon and Israel stops attacks. This statement came at a time when the Wall Street Journal had claimed that an Iranian team had reached Islamabad.

Iran said- both leaders are still present in Tehran

There is uncertainty in Islamabad even before the talks begin. Iran has strongly rejected international media reports which claimed that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf have reached Pakistan for talks with the US. Iran’s official news agencies and state media have clarified that all these claims are completely false and misleading.

State-run broadcaster Press TV quoted Tasnim news agency as saying that neither the foreign minister nor the parliament speaker had left the country. Both leaders are still present in Tehran and actively involved in national affairs. According to some reports, the visit of the Iranian delegation has been delayed due to the ongoing military tension in Lebanon. Although both Pakistan and America are trying to make this meeting successful, the ground situation still remains complex.

There was already doubt on the conversation

Fars News Agency also adopted the same stance and said that no talks with America are possible without the ceasefire in Lebanon. Suspense regarding this ceasefire was created on Thursday itself. Then Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan, Raza Amiri Moghadam, first wrote on social media that the 10-member team would reach Islamabad, but after a few hours he removed his post. This deepened the question as to what is going on behind the scenes.

As part of an important diplomatic effort towards ending the ongoing war between the US and Iran in West Asia, US Vice President JD Vance left for Pakistan’s capital Islamabad on Friday. Here he will lead peace talks with Iran. This talk is taking place at a time when the temporary ceasefire declared between the two countries has reached a very weak state. According to media reports, the meeting is to be held on Saturday. US President Donald Trump has given this responsibility to Vance, while along with him, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Presidential Advisor Jared Kushner are also involved in this mission. This step has been taken at a time when political and economic pressure regarding war is continuously increasing.

Tension increased despite ceasefire

Even after the recently announced temporary ceasefire, the situation has not calmed down. Deep differences have emerged between Iran and the US-Israel backed parties over the terms of the agreement. Iran says the ceasefire should also include the ongoing conflict in Lebanon, while the US and Israel have rejected this claim. Due to this, tension in the area has increased again. Apart from this, America has demanded from Iran to completely reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which is considered a very important route for global oil supply. Iran had previously restricted the route in response to Israeli military action.
