An Iranian senior official has told Reuters that Pakistan is promoting positive efforts to end the American blockade and ensure Iran's participation in upcoming peace talks. The official stated that Iran is seriously considering participating in the talks with the United States, but no final decision has yet been made. This marks a potential shift in tone from Iran's previous refusals to negotiate while under blockade, though it maintains the condition that the U.S. naval blockade must be addressed. Pakistan remains the sole official mediator in the diplomatic process between Tehran and Washington.
