A source close to Iran’s negotiating team denied reports that Iran and the U.S.
will hold a new round of talks next week, and rejected claims that Islamabad had
finalised preparations or that technical consultations will resume next week,
calling the reports false and without factual basis. The source said any
progress would be announced via official Iranian channels and labelled some
foreign media coverage as not credible. The account noted U.S. President Trump
had the day before made a heated comment about the funeral of Iran’s late
supreme leader Khamenei, saying the “understanding agreement is over,” while
within a day some U.S.-linked outlets reported talks would continue; observers
say the divergence reflects inconsistency in the U.S. position.
