Iran cancels planned US talks in Islamabad

A senior representative of Iran's Supreme Leader in the IRGC, Abdollah Haji-Sadeghi, has declared that planned negotiations between Iran and the United States in Islamabad, Pakistan, have been cancelled. He stated there are no negotiations for now, confirming Iran's refusal to participate. This follows weeks of diplomatic uncertainty and a previous Iranian demand that the US lift its naval blockade before talks could resume. The cancellation leaves the diplomatic track frozen and underscores the ongoing tensions between the two nations.
