Iran's Ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, has issued a statement regarding the recent negotiations between the United States and Iran.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that, according to the ambassador, the talks held in Islamabad should not be viewed as an isolated event, but rather as the beginning of a broader diplomatic process.
Writing on his "X" account, the ambassador stated: "The Islamabad talks are not an event, but a process. If trust is built and political will is demonstrated, this can create a sustainable diplomatic foundation that takes into account the interests of all parties."
It should be noted that several rounds of discussions took place between Iranian and US delegations in Islamabad on April 11. The Iranian side was led by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Majlis, while the US delegation was headed by Vice President JD Vance. Despite the high-level engagement, the parties were unable to reach a final agreement due to fundamental differences, including issues surrounding Iran's nuclear program.
Following the discussions, reports indicate that the US, under the administration of US President Donald Trump, announced it would impose restrictions on Iranian ports starting April 13. However, it was clarified that the movement of vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz that do not enter Iranian ports will not be obstructed.
The diplomatic engagement in Islamabad comes at a critical juncture for regional stability. Historically, relations between Washington and Tehran have been defined by decades of tension over nuclear enrichment, regional influence, and economic sanctions. These latest talks represent a rare direct encounter between high-ranking officials, occurring against a backdrop of increased international pressure and the strategic importance of maritime security in the Persian Gulf.
