 BREAKING! Iran Pulls Out of Wednesday Islamabad Talks — Tasnim News

Iran has formally notified the United States through Pakistani mediators that it will not attend Wednesday's scheduled negotiations in Islamabad, with no timeline set for future rounds, according to Tasnim News Agency.

The decision follows what Tehran describes as a pattern of American bad faith since the ceasefire framework was agreed upon.
According to Tasnim's sources, Iran accepted a ceasefire and subsequent negotiations based on a 10-point framework it submitted — which Washington formally accepted through Pakistani intermediaries. 

However, the U.S. almost immediately began walking back its commitments.

First, Washington failed to pressure Israel into implementing the Lebanon ceasefire as agreed — stalling talks for several days. Then, during the first Islamabad round, the U.S. introduced demands that far exceeded the original framework, effectively torpedoing the negotiations. Tehran's assessment: having failed on the battlefield, Washington was trying to compensate through maximalist demands at the table.

Iran subsequently issued a firm warning of missile strikes on Israel, which Tasnim says forced the U.S. to finally operationalize the Lebanon ceasefire. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi then announced Tehran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping in line with the initial framework — only for the U.S. to continue its naval blockade regardless.

Recent message exchanges produced no meaningful progress, with Washington refusing to retreat from demands Tehran considers violations of Iran's sovereign rights.

Iran has now concluded that returning to talks under these conditions would be a waste of time, as the U.S. is blocking any viable agreement. The decision has been communicated to Washington via Islamabad.
