Three days before the ceasefire ends, negotiations between Washington and Tehran seem to be in jeopardy. Iran does not intend to take part in new negotiations with the United States, the state-run Iranian television reported on Sunday, even though Donald Trump had previously announced sending a delegation to Pakistan to restart peace talks.
Quoting Iranian sources, the state television (Irib) stated on Sunday, April 19, that Tehran currently has no plans to participate in the next session of Iran-United States discussions. The official Irna news agency mentioned that there is no clear prospect of successful negotiations, and several Iranian media outlets suggest that a lifting of the American naval blockade would be a prerequisite for these talks. The powerful President of the Iranian Parliament and head of the negotiating team, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, mentioned that there are “many differences.”
In the meantime, while awaiting confirmation on the talks, security was visibly heightened in Islamabad on Sunday with the closing of roads, barbed wire, and barricades, particularly near the most secure hotels in the Pakistani capital.
