Iran has denied reports that it requested direct talks with the United States in Pakistan, calling statements from the White House inaccurate. The response comes after claims that US envoys were being sent to Islamabad for potential negotiations. Iranian officials have said they rejected US proposals due to what they describe as excessive demands, while also clarifying that their foreign minister’s visit to Pakistan is strictly bilateral and not linked to any US talks. At the same time, US officials maintain that discussions could still take place, creating a contradiction between both sides. Pakistan is expected to act as a communication channel, relaying messages between Tehran and Washington.

US-Iran peace talks seem to be on path to revival as a new diplomatic push is taking shape, as per reports. Pakistan is bringing China into efforts to revive stalled talks. With a growing trust gap between Tehran and Islamabad, China’s involvement is being seen as a move to provide stronger guarantees and credibility to the process. According to sources, a six-point framework is under consideration, focusing on key issues such as nuclear and missile concerns, security assurances, and long-term commitments. The proposal also includes a broader roadmap for future engagement and potential economic cooperation.
