Iran has rejected Pakistan’s offer to host potential talks with the United States, signalling reluctance to accept Islamabad as a mediator in the ongoing conflict. Tehran stated that “Pakistan’s forums are their own,” distancing itself from reports of proposed negotiations there. While Pakistan has attempted to position itself as a diplomatic bridge, Iran’s response underscores limited trust and control over negotiation optics. However, Tehran indicated it is still reviewing a broader US proposal, suggesting diplomacy remains possible under its conditions. The development highlights ongoing challenges in finding a credible mediation channel amid escalating tensions.
