Iran has not yet sent any representatives for talks with the United States in Islamabad, according to state media.

Neither experts for preliminary discussions nor the main delegation had travelled to the Pakistani capital, a report by state radio said on Tuesday.

Government officials stressed that negotiations would not be conducted under the shadow of “threats and breaches of agreements”, state media reported.

A second round of talks with the United States would depend on whether Washington backs down on its positions, though no further details were provided.

A key sticking point remains the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ships and ports.

President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that he would maintain the blockade until an agreement is reached.

According to Pakistani security sources, Tehran has tied its participation in talks to the lifting of the blockade.

The two-week ceasefire between the U.S., Israel, and Iran is due to expire on Wednesday. Mr Trump told Bloomberg on Monday that it is “highly unlikely” he would extend it without a deal.
