The Islamabad Friction

According to Pezeshkian, the negotiations—facilitated by Pakistani officials—stalled due to what he described as "excessive demands" by the U.S. delegation.

The Experts' Consensus: Pezeshkian noted that technical experts from both sides had reached mutual understandings before senior officials failed to finalize the deal.

National Sovereignty: The President emphasized that Iran remains open to dialogue, but only within a framework that protects its national interests and sovereignty.

The Pakistani Confirmation: Iranian officials stated that Pakistan has confirmed Iran's claim that it was the side demanding "precise implementation of obligations."
