BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 15. Iran and the United
States are continuing to exchange messages regarding potential
negotiations, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei
said Tuesday, Trend
reports.
Speaking at a press conference in Tehran on April 15, Baghaei
said that communication between the two sides has persisted in
recent days, following indirect contacts.
According to Bagai, a significant number of messages have been
exchanged through mediation by Pakistan after the Iranian
delegation returned to Tehran on April 12.
“Iran’s position is fully clear and has also been conveyed in
Islamabad,” Baghaei said.
He added that Iran is expected to host a Pakistani delegation
soon, describing the upcoming discussions as a continuation of
earlier talks held in Islamabad. The agenda will likely build on
prior discussions between Pakistani and U.S. officials, with both
sides’ positions expected to be reviewed during the visit.
Tensions between Iran and the United States have escalated in
recent weeks. Following a lack of progress in negotiations over
Iran’s nuclear program, the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes on
Iranian targets on February 28. Iran has since responded with
missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli and U.S. facilities in
the region.
A two-week ceasefire agreement, brokered by Pakistan, took
effect on April 7. However, talks held in Islamabad on April 11
ended without a breakthrough.
