Dar Welcomes Araghchi's Clarification that Iran Never Refused Islamabad Talks

Iran said it never refused Pakistan-mediated talks and thanked Islamabad for helping push 5-point peace efforts.

  • On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi clarified that Iran has "never refused to go to Islamabad" for peace talks, dismissing US media reports suggesting Tehran rejected the Pakistan-mediated initiative.
  • Pakistan has been mediating between Washington and Tehran to de-escalate the regional conflict, though recent media reports falsely claimed the peace initiative had stalled and Iran refused to engage.
  • Foreign Office Spokesperson Tahir Andrabi rejected the reports as "baseless" and a "figment of imagination," urging media outlets to rely exclusively on official statements rather than unverified speculation.
  • Expressing gratitude for Islamabad's mediation efforts, Araghchi maintained that Iran's participation requires terms ensuring a "conclusive and lasting" end to the conflict imposed on the nation.
  • Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar lauded Araghchi's clarification while Pakistan continues diplomatic engagement with the US and China to facilitate meaningful negotiations among regional stakeholders.
