Indirect contacts between Iran and the US mediated by Pakistan

The Iranian Foreign Ministry officially confirmed that indirect exchanges of messages are taking place between Tehran and Washington through Pakistani mediation. According to reports in اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری and آخرین خبر, the negotiations are being conducted on the basis of an Iranian 14-point draft. The arrival of the Pakistani Interior Minister is officially defined as an effort "to facilitate the exchange of messages" and provide technical clarifications.

In a series of statements published in حامیان پزشکیان, Iranian officials emphasized that the country is acting out of "goodwill" but at the same time maintains a "deep and logical suspicion" regarding the conduct of the US over the last year and a half. In خبر فوری جنگ ایران, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson was quoted as saying: "What we want are not requests, but our rights."

Regarding international pressure, Iran responded with dismissal to threats from the West. According to آخرین خبر, the spokesperson described the use of language such as "ultimatums and deadlines" toward Iran as "ridiculous." It was further stated that Tehran will continue to promote its national interests "regardless of threatening behavior."

The cited sources, mostly identified with internal Iranian and pro-government news channels, emphasize a uniform official line of the administration in Tehran, which presents the contacts as a position of strength rather than submission to pressure. No detailed official response from the White House or the US State Department was presented in this information.
