An advisor to Iran's negotiation team, Mohammad Marandi, has told Al-Mayadeen that based on his recent conversations with officials, there is no intention to send an Iranian delegation to Islamabad for talks with the United States. This contradicts earlier reports that Supreme Leader Khamenei had given a final green light for a delegation to depart. Marandi added that one of Iran's key demands for attending a new round of talks is a public US statement regarding the lifting of its naval blockade. The statement introduces fresh uncertainty into the diplomatic process, which has been marked by conflicting signals from Tehran.
