Iran Says Talks with Pakistan Continue as US Negotiations Intensifies

(MENAFN) Iran continues to maintain communication channels with Pakistan, while no agreement has yet been reached on holding a new round of negotiations with the United States, according to an Iranian source cited by reports on Tuesday.

The statement followed rare direct discussions between Iranian and US delegations held in Islamabad on Saturday, which were intended to help de-escalate tensions but ultimately ended without any deal being reached, according to reports.

In the wider context of the conflict, Iranian authorities say that more than 3,300 people have been killed in US-Israeli airstrikes on Iran since Feb. 28. In response, Tehran carried out missile and drone attacks targeting Israel as well as locations in Iraq, Jordan, and Gulf states that host US military assets. A two-week ceasefire was later announced last week, according to the same sources.
