Iran said it is continuing to exchange messages with the United States through an intermediary after recent talks failed to produce a breakthrough.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said the communication between Tehran and Washington is ongoing via Pakistan following the collapse of discussions on Sunday.
He said Iran’s position has been clearly outlined and reiterated in subsequent contacts.
Baghaei added that Iran is “most likely” to host a Pakistani delegation later on Wednesday as part of continued diplomatic efforts. The visit is expected to include detailed discussions on the respective positions of Iran and the US, building on earlier talks held in Islamabad.
Rejecting US allegations, Baghaei said Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons and maintained that its nuclear programme remains “peaceful”.
He also stressed that Iran must be allowed to continue uranium enrichment in line with its needs, while indicating that there is room for dialogue regarding the type and level of enrichment.
The third round of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States took place on February 26, just two days before the outbreak of the US–Israel war on Iran.
