Iran’s state news agency IRNA has denied reports claiming that a new round of talks between Iran and the United States was taking place in Pakistan. According to IRNA, the reports are not true and the agency accused the United States of making excessive demands while frequently changing its stance and issuing contradictory statements. It added that U.S. sanctions on Iranian ports and threatening rhetoric have hindered progress in any discussions.

In a message on Telegram, IRNA stated that under the current circumstances there is no bright prospect for productive negotiations. The report did not cite any specific official or institution. Earlier, two Iranian media outlets linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also expressed doubts about Iran’s participation in any potential meeting.

No responsible Iranian official has yet clarified the country’s formal position on the matter, leaving uncertainty over whether Iran will take part in future talks.
