Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmail Baqai said on Wednesday that exchange of messages after the ceasefire and the Islamabad talks is continuing, diplomatic contacts are also maintained through Pakistani mediation, and further talks are expected to achieve a complete ceasefire.

He told a press briefing that contacts have been ongoing since last Sunday, and many messages have been exchanged through Pakistan.

According to him, Iran is receiving continuous messages through Pakistani mediators, and Iran’s position on the matter is clear.

Esmail Baqai said that during this exchange of messages, there is a strong possibility that a Pakistani delegation will visit Iran to advance the negotiation process. He clarified that the upcoming negotiations will be aimed at achieving a complete ceasefire.

Iran has not backed down from supporting the Lebanese resistance and will not accept any interference in the region. He added that Iran is the guardian and custodian of the Strait of Hormuz and will not compromise on its regional role.

Baqai also said that Iran has always maintained that negotiations on the issue of nuclear enrichment can take place, but there will be no compromise on Iran’s rights based on international law.

He clarified that Iran has said that unilateral conditions cannot be called negotiations. The Islamic Republic of Iran will not accept any such pressure or order.

He rejected reports that Iran is capable of producing an atomic bomb in a few days and said that such claims are baseless and misleading. Iran wants to resolve issues through diplomatic channels, and the process of dialogue will continue for peace and stability in the region.

Referring to the statement of religious leader Pope Leo, he said that the Pope did not say anything wrong, but rather called the war against Iran unjust, and the insult to the Pope by Trump will not be forgotten.

Iran wants to continue the dialogue through Pakistan. There was talk of compensation for the losses caused by the war, there was talk of lifting sanctions, we are being targeted for terrorism based on something that does not exist, and our intention is to resolve the issues through diplomatic channels.

The US’s insistence on nuclear capability is evidence of its ignorance. Iran does not want to use its nuclear capability for anything other than peace. He made it clear that Iran cannot be surrounded and that the US blockade of the sea is against international law.

He also said that it is highly likely that a Pakistani delegation will visit Iran.

Yesterday, US President Donald Trump also indicated that Pakistan was a priority for talks with Iran and indicated that the next round of talks could also be held in Pakistan. He cited Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir’s efforts regarding Iran-US mediation as the reason for choosing Pakistan.
