Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian foreign ministry, states that Tehran’s reluctance to engage in talks in Pakistan stems not from uncertainty, but rather from what he termed as contradictory signals and actions from the United States.
Baqaei stated, as reported by Iranian official media, “The issue isn’t indecision; it’s due to conflicting messages, inconsistent actions, and intolerable conduct from the American side.”
Baghaei stated that Iran would determine its participation in discussions “once they start yielding results.”
He likewise denounced US strikes on Iranian vessels, labeling them “a blatant breach of international law,” as well as “state-sponsored terrorism and maritime piracy.”
Earlier today, Baghaei stated that the US is “shifting blame while breaching the ceasefire and not fulfilling essential commitments, such as the Lebanon truce.”
Pakistan is still awaiting official confirmation from Iran regarding its participation in peace talks with the US this week, stated Pakistani Information Minister Attaullah Tarar earlier today
