Pakistani government sources told Turkish media that no date has been set for resuming negotiations between the United States and Iran, directly contradicting President Donald Trump's earlier statement that talks would renew today, according to a report in the Turkish press.
The new report from Pakistani sources, carried by Turkish media, contradicts President Trump's claim earlier Monday that negotiations with Iran would resume today. As The Zioneer reported earlier (Mon 10:30), Trump declared the renewal of talks, while Iran denied holding direct talks and insisted on mediators only. Now, Pakistani sources — who have been involved as intermediaries in the process — tell Turkish media that no date has actually been set, underscoring the persistent gaps between Washington's public messaging and the on-the-ground diplomatic reality. The conflicting accounts are the latest in a long thread of U.S.-Iran negotiation updates, with Iran previously rejecting Trump's claims of an imminent deal (Jun 14) and the U.S. maintaining a 'maximum pressure' posture. It remains unclear when or whether talks will formally resume, and whether the mediators' cautious optimism, reported earlier this week, has faded.
