From many divergences: Iran does not intend to return to Pakistan for new talks with…

Iran will not participate in new negotiations with the United States, even though Donald Trump had previously announced sending a delegation to Islamabad, Pakistan, to revive peace talks three days before the ceasefire expiration.

Three days before the end of the ceasefire, negotiations between Washington and Tehran seem to be in jeopardy. Iran does not intend to engage in new negotiations with the United States, as reported Sunday by the Iranian state television, even though Donald Trump had earlier announced the sending of a delegation to Pakistan to restart peace talks.

Quoting Iranian sources, the state television (Irib) stated on Sunday, April 19, that Tehran currently has “no plans to participate in the next round of Iran-US discussions”.

The official news agency Irna mentioned that there is “no clear prospect of successful negotiations.” Several Iranian media outlets suggest that a lifting of the American naval blockade would be a precondition for these talks. The powerful President of the Iranian Parliament and head of the negotiation team, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, noted “many differences.”

Context:

• Tensions between Iran and the United States regarding nuclear activities and regional influence have strained diplomatic relations.
• The possibility of new negotiations being derailed indicates ongoing challenges in diplomatic efforts between the two countries.

Fact Check:

• Donald Trump’s offer of a “reasonable deal” to Iran and the reported military actions in the Persian Gulf may require further investigation for accuracy and verification.
