Iran has refused to take part in the second round of U.S.-Iran talks, which was scheduled to be held tomorrow in Islamabad. This directly contradicts statements from the United States and Pakistan, who had indicated that both delegations were set to land in the Pakistani capital. The refusal follows a period of heightened tensions, including a U.S. naval blockade and recent military incidents in the Gulf. The move leaves the diplomatic track in disarray and raises the risk of further escalation.
