Another uncertainty 👇

Tehran (April 19, 2026): Iran has set a major condition for negotiations with the United States—talks will only happen if Pakistan’s delegation in Islamabad is not ignored.

According to Iran’s state news agency, no final decision has yet been made regarding negotiations in Islamabad. Iran has emphasized that no talks will take place until the United States lifts its naval blockade.

The report states that after the first round of talks ended, indirect communication is currently ongoing between Iran and the United States through a Pakistani third party.

This exchange of messages is a continuation of the initial phase of negotiations. However, the first round remained inconclusive due to increasing demands and firm stances, particularly from the U.S. side.

After the talks ended, diplomatic efforts are still ongoing between both sides through Pakistani mediation.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister clarified that as long as the naval blockade imposed by the U.S. remains in place under the decision of President Donald Trump, no formal negotiations will be held.
