Confusion surrounds the anticipated second round of US-Iran talks in Islamabad, with US President Donald Trump asserting that negotiations are set to resume, while Iranian officials vehemently deny any confirmation. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has indicated that Iran is ready for prolonged conflict, emphasizing that it will not engage in negotiations unless all of its demands are met. This stance comes amid accusations from Iran that the US is undermining diplomacy through excessive demands and a proposed naval blockade, which Tehran views as a breach of prior agreements. Pakistan is attempting to mediate the situation cautiously, with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and foreign minister engaging with Iranian leaders, but official statements from Islamabad have not confirmed any specific details about the talks. As both sides harden their positions, the potential for meaningful negotiation seems increasingly bleak, raising concerns that the situation may escalate further.
