Amid reports of mediation between the United States and Iran, Tehran has taken a notably harder stance in its negotiations. Three senior Iranian sources told Reuters that since the outbreak of war, Iran’s tone has shifted significantly, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) now exerting greater influence over policy decisions. Tehran has made it clear that any meaningful talks would require major concessions from Washington.
According to the sources, Iran’s conditions include guarantees against future military action, compensation for wartime damages, and formal control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Iran has also refused to discuss any restrictions on its ballistic missile program, calling it a non-negotiable red line. While U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that intense talks have been ongoing for three weeks, Iran publicly denied this, saying only preliminary contacts occurred with Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt.
A potential direct meeting in Islamabad could take place this week if finalized, with Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and foreign minister Abbas Araghchi expected to attend. However, sources emphasized that the IRGC will ultimately determine any final decision.
