Iran signals firm stance on its nuclear program while indirect diplomatic communication with the United States continues through Pakistan.
Iran has reaffirmed that it will not abandon its uranium enrichment rights, escalating rhetoric amid ongoing indirect diplomatic exchanges with the United States conducted through Pakistan, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei.
Baghaei said during a weekly briefing that messages between Tehran and Washington continue to be exchanged via Pakistan following recent talks held in the country, with multiple rounds of communication taking place after the Iranian delegation returned home.
He added that Pakistan is expected to host an Iranian delegation as dialogue continues, with discussions previously covering cessation of hostilities, lifting of sanctions, and compensation for damages linked to United States and Israeli actions.
Iran also described itself as a guardian of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping lane, as regional diplomacy continues amid efforts to reduce tensions and revive stalled nuclear negotiations with Western powers.
The remarks come as international stakeholders monitor developments closely, with hopes that sustained dialogue could prevent further escalation and support a diplomatic pathway toward renewed agreements involving Iran and the United States.
Officials said the ongoing indirect channel through Pakistan reflects continued efforts to maintain communication despite political distrust, with both sides reportedly exploring frameworks for limited de-escalation while preserving core strategic positions on nuclear capabilities and regional security dynamics.
