Iran’s Government Spokesperson has stated that sending the Iranian delegation to Pakistan for talks with the United States demonstrates Tehran’s resolve to negotiate, but the country will not lower its guard.
In clear remarks on April 11, 2026, the spokesperson said: “Sending our delegation to Pakistan shows our commitment to diplomacy, but our fingers will remain on the trigger.”
He stressed that Iran is ready for serious negotiations but will not compromise or back down on its core rights and national interests. The statement highlights Tehran’s firm position that it will continue to defend itself if the ceasefire is violated or if pressure continues.
Context of the Talks
The Iranian delegation arrived in Islamabad yesterday and is preparing for indirect negotiations with the US side, mediated by Pakistan. The talks, which begin formally tomorrow (April 11), aim to build on the fragile two-week ceasefire agreed earlier this week. Key issues include full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions relief, and broader regional security.
The spokesperson’s comments reflect Iran’s dual approach: willingness to engage in talks while maintaining strong military readiness in case the truce breaks down.
The situation remains tense as both sides prepare for what could be a critical round of diplomacy in the coming days.
