🇮🇷: 🇵🇰/ 🇺🇸 | BREAKING — Commencement of Negotiations between Iran and the United States in Islamabad:

Following intensive consultations in Islamabad and notable progress in discussions, along with a reduction in attacks by the Zionist regime from Beirut to southern Lebanon, which has been regarded as a step forward in implementing the ceasefire, and the American side’s acceptance of the release of Iran’s assets, it has been decided to initiate formal negotiations between Iran and the United States in Islamabad. These talks aim to finalize outstanding issues, particularly those requiring detailed expert and technical examination.

Iran maintains that the ceasefire in Lebanon has not yet been fully realized and asserts that the United States is obligated to ensure Israel’s compliance with this commitment. The Iranian delegation is actively pursuing this matter through the Pakistani intermediary as well as within the negotiation framework.

While participating in this round of talks under Pakistan’s mediation, the Iranian delegation has expressed clear skepticism toward the opposing side, citing previous instances in which the United States failed to uphold its commitments in earlier negotiations.

✅ | During the course of the talks in Islamabad, the America sought to intensify psychological pressure, coinciding with heightened military signaling in the region.

In this context, Iranian forces informed their negotiating delegation of the movement of a U.S. destroyer from Fujairah Port toward the Strait of Hormuz. In response, Iran conveyed through the Pakistani mediator that any continued advance of the vessel would result in it being targeted within 30 minutes. Following this firm warning, the U.S. destroyer reportedly halted its movement.

Addressing the situation, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Ismael Baqaei, stated: “The U.S. destroyer, which attempted to cross the Strait of Hormuz without permission, began moving in the opposite direction after a firm warning by the Iranian Armed Forces.” He further emphasized that Iran had clearly informed the Pakistani mediators that continued movement of the warship would trigger a direct response within 30 minutes.

Against this backdrop of military tension and strategic signaling, Iran–U.S. negotiations in Islamabad have formally entered the expert phase, with specialized committees engaging in discussions on economic, military, legal, and nuclear matters. These developments follow earlier diplomatic exchanges in which Iran outlined its core conditions for progress.

Specifically, Iran has insisted on two primary preconditions: the establishment of a tangible and lasting ceasefire across Lebanon, extending beyond Beirut, and the release of frozen Iranian assets.

In preparation for these negotiations, the Iranian delegation held multiple high-level consultations, including two meetings with Pakistan’s Army Chief and discussions with the Prime Minister.

✅ | After initial discussions and consultations, the dialogue between the Iranian and American delegations moved beyond general frameworks and entered into detailed and technical discussions on several issues. Accordingly, experts from both sides are currently reviewing and examining the specific details of key matters.

Although the talks were originally scheduled to last one day, it is now considered likely that they may be extended for an additional day to allow further expert-level discussions. However, this extension has not been officially confirmed, and several circulating reports remain unverified.

It is also emphasized that many of the reports currently appearing in media outlets should not be relied upon, particularly those originating from Reuters, secondary aggregators, and social media platforms driven by clickbait narratives.

We have reached out to a source who is near the media team in Islamabad, and we will try to confirm and deny some sensitive updates related to it. However, sources have confirmed that due to the extremely confidential nature of the matter, only IRIB has official authority to publish the outcome of what has been officially conveyed to them. All sources, including ours, are relying on the main source as well as some indications that other officials might provide.

The current stalemate centers on the Strait of Hormuz, as we said. Every discussion, negotiation, and threat revolves around this crucial point.

✅ | Developments in Islamabad Negotiations:

Negotiations in Islamabad have been ongoing for more than four hours. Expert teams from the Iranian and American delegations, who entered the talks earlier in the day, are now engaged in the exchange of written texts following the conclusion of in-person discussions on the initial round of topics.

The first round of negotiations for the day has reportedly concluded, with further rounds expected in the coming hours. Sources indicate that additional sessions are likely to take place either later tonight or tomorrow, as discussions continue at the expert level.

At present, both sides’ technical teams are actively involved in the exchange of written proposals and responses, marking a clear transition from general discussions to more structured, document-based negotiations.

✅ | IRIB: Two rounds of talks have been held between Iran and the United States, with a third round expected.

The reporter said this may be the “last of efforts” to see whether Pakistan‑mediated talks can bring the two delegations closer. Expert teams are exchanging draft texts.

The U.S. is still showing an “ambitious approach” similar to past rounds, and the shadow of mistrust based on past American behaviour remains.

✅ | Negotiations are continuing in a structured format, with technical teams exchanging written texts after earlier rounds of direct discussions. A senior American official confirmed that talks are ongoing into the night, indicating that the dialogue has not paused and remains active at the trilateral level with Pakistani facilitation.

At the expert stage, both sides have continued consultations and agreed to proceed with additional rounds of negotiations. However, Iranian sources indicate that progress has been complicated by what they describe as excessive demands from the American side, which has slowed momentum after the transition to document-based exchanges.

Despite these tensions, consultations remain active, with the Iranian side reiterating its position on preserving its strategic and military gains while emphasizing the protection of national rights. Officials in Tehran have described the current phase as critical, noting that the outcome of the ongoing round will be decisive in determining whether the talks can move toward a concrete result. Unlike earlier rounds held in Oman and Geneva, current discussions are being conducted with stricter timelines and without extended procedural flexibility.
