Pakistani sources stated that no specific date or place has been set for a direct meeting between the United States and Iran, contradicting President Donald Trump's earlier claim that talks would begin on Monday. An Arabic media analysis notes that the Pakistani mediators have no incentive to lie, lending credibility to the denial.
Pakistani mediators rejected President Donald Trump's claim that US-Iran talks would begin on Monday, stating that no specific date or place has been set for a direct meeting. The denial was reported by an Arabic media outlet, which noted that the Pakistani mediators have no incentive to lie, lending credibility to their statement. As The Zioneer reported at 15:38 Jerusalem, Pakistani government sources had previously told Turkish media that no date had been set for the talks. The repeated denial from multiple sources underscores the diplomatic confusion surrounding the status of US-Iran negotiations, with Trump's claim contradicted by both the Pakistani mediators and other reports. The analysis from the Arabic outlet suggests that the Pakistani intermediaries, who have served as mediators between Washington and Tehran, are seen as credible sources with no interest in spreading misinformation.
