ISLAMABAD / TEHRAN — Iran’s Foreign Ministry has officially ruled out the possibility of direct negotiations with the United States, even as American envoys are preparing to arrive in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad.
Diplomatic sources confirm that the visit is being closely watched by the international community, with hopes that it could lay the groundwork for a potential ceasefire agreement. However, Tehran has made clear that any engagement will remain indirect.
The development comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with multiple world powers urging restraint and a return to dialogue. Pakistan, which maintains ties with both Tehran and Washington, is seen as a potential back-channel for communication.
