Claims that Iran sent a delegation to Pakistan for talks with the United States just hours before the ceasefire ended were denied by Tehran. Iranian state television IRIB stated that no delegation had gone to Islamabad and that reports regarding the meeting schedule did not reflect the truth. Previously, there were claims that a "delegation was on the way," while the Iranian side maintains its uncertainty regarding the negotiation process.

It was claimed that Iran was preparing to send a negotiation delegation to Pakistan as part of the planned second round of peace talks with the United States, less than 24 hours before the end of a two-week ceasefire. However, the Tehran administration denied these claims.

THE CLAIM OF "DELEGATION ON THE WAY" HAD BECOME A TOPIC

Reports from The Wall Street Journal and Nikkei Asia, based on sources close to the matter, suggested that Iran aimed to restart the diplomatic process by sending a delegation to Pakistan. Pakistani sources also stated that the delegation was expected to arrive in Islamabad.

IRAN: "NO DELEGATION HAS BEEN SENT"

Iran's state television IRIB rejected the claims. The statement emphasized that no Iranian delegation had been sent to Pakistan for talks with the United States. IRIB reported that no primary or secondary delegation had gone to Islamabad, and that news about Iranian officials having set out and a meeting schedule being determined did not reflect the truth.

CONTRADICTION WITH OFFICIAL STATEMENTS DEEPENS

Pakistani officials had previously indicated that Iran was not keen on sending negotiators, citing the blockade of Iranian ports by the U.S. Navy as a reason. With the latest denial, the contradiction between the claims and official statements became even clearer.

CAUTIOUS STANCE FROM TEHRAN

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ismail Bakayi had also stated in a previous announcement that there was no clear plan for the second round of talks in Pakistan. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed a cautious approach to the negotiation process, emphasizing the "historical distrust" towards the United States.
