Amid rising tensions between the United States and Iran, Iranian state media denied reports about a scheduled negotiation meeting, confirming that Tehran has not sent any delegation to Islamabad, whether official or preliminary.

Iranian television stressed that any future negotiations depend on a change in U.S. behavior and policies, emphasizing that Tehran refuses to negotiate under threats or what it described as breaches of agreements.

Meanwhile, former U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric, stating that Iran “will negotiate”, warning that it will face “unprecedented problems” if it refuses.

Trump added that he hopes for a “fair deal” with Iran, suggesting such an agreement could help rebuild the country, while also claiming that the Iran file will be resolved and “everyone will be happy.”

He further stated that what he described as the destruction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities would make the removal of “nuclear dust” a difficult and lengthy process.

This contrast in statements highlights the deep divisions between the two sides, as the prospects for renewed negotiations remain uncertain amid ongoing political escalation.
