Tasnim News Agency Denies Reports of Iranian Delegation to Pakistan for US Talks
Tasnim News Agency has denied reports that an Iranian delegation arrived in Islamabad for talks with the United States.
The Iranian outlet cited an informed source stating the reports are "completely false." The source said Tehran will not negotiate unless the U.S. fulfills its ceasefire commitment in Lebanon.
The denial follows a Wall Street Journal report claiming a high-level Iranian delegation led by Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf had traveled to Pakistan. The WSJ said U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance was expected to lead the American side.
Reports had suggested Pakistan would host the Iran-U.S. talks after a two-week ceasefire in Lebanon.
Tasnim's statement addresses speculation about indirect negotiations between Iran and the U.S. amid regional tensions.
