The announcement has further clouded prospects for renewed negotiations as the deadline for an ongoing ceasefire approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei made it clear that Tehran is not inclined to participate in discussions at this stage. He attributed the decision to what Iran perceives as inconsistency in the US approach toward diplomacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe reason is the contradictory messages, contradictory behaviour, and unacceptable actions of the American side,\u201d Baqaei said, underlining Tehran\u2019s growing dissatisfaction with Washington\u2019s recent stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The development comes amid heightened diplomatic efforts to bring both sides back to the negotiating table. However, Iran has not confirmed its participation in any upcoming dialogue, even as intermediaries continue attempts to revive talks before the ceasefire expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iranian officials reiterated that no delegation has travelled to Islamabad and stressed that meaningful negotiations cannot take place under pressure or coercion. The remarks reflect Tehran\u2019s continued scepticism over the intentions of the United States, especially in light of recent developments that have strained relations further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pakistan, which has offered to host and facilitate the talks, is reportedly in contact with both sides in an effort to salvage the diplomatic process. Despite these efforts, Iran\u2019s reluctance to commit has cast significant doubt on whether the proposed meeting will take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation carries added urgency as the ceasefire between Iran and the United States nears its deadline. Any failure to restart dialogue could increase the risk of renewed tensions or escalation in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Observers note that a lack of trust and clarity continues to be a major hurdle in resolving the standoff. While diplomatic channels remain open, the latest statement from Tehran suggests that progress will depend on a shift in approach and assurances that address Iran\u2019s concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With uncertainty prevailing, all eyes are now on further developments as efforts continue to prevent a breakdown in talks and maintain fragile stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(The content of this article is sourced from a news agency and has not been edited by the Mavericknews30 team.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York, April 2026 : Iran has said it currently has no plans to send a delegation to Islamabad for proposed talks with the United States, citing what it described as \u201ccontradictory messages\u201d and \u201cunacceptable actions\u201d from Washington.
