IRAN SIGNALS TALKS IN PAKISTAN — BUT CONFUSION REMAINS
Iran has told mediators it plans to send a negotiating team to Islamabad on Tuesday for a second round of talks with the US.
However, uncertainty persists. A Foreign Ministry spokesperson said there are no current plans for new negotiations and rejected “deadlines or ultimatums.”
Masoud Pezeshkian also reiterated Iran’s deep mistrust of the US, saying the country “does not submit to force.”

Analysis Summary
Iran publicly denied sending negotiators to Islamabad for second-round talks on April 20, even as sources said a delegation was expected Tuesday. Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei rejected talks and blamed US ceasefire violations; President Pezeshkian stated Iran will not submit to force despite Trump's threats. The contradiction reflects genuine confusion in negotiations—Iran using public denials as leverage while exploring options through back channels, as both sides faced a Wednesday ceasefire deadline. The US Navy had seized an Iranian ship days earlier, poisoning trust at the critical moment.
