Tehran -UNS: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei confirmed that indirect talks between Iran and the United States are continuing through Pakistani mediation despite recent political threats and escalating tensions between the two sides.
Baghaei stated that Tehran had received “American feedback” via the Pakistani mediator, even as Washington rejected some Iranian proposals. He added that reports circulating about uranium enrichment were “neither new nor accurate.”
The remarks highlight Pakistan’s growing diplomatic role in efforts to reduce tensions in the region, particularly amid concerns that ongoing disputes could expand into a broader confrontation.
Observers believe the continuation of communication channels, despite sharp media and political rhetoric, signals that all parties remain interested in keeping negotiations alive.
In a separate development, the Iranian spokesman revealed that Tehran is coordinating with Oman on a new mechanism for ship passage through the Strait of Hormuz amid rising disruptions to maritime traffic.
According to Baghaei, Iranian and Omani experts recently held discussions regarding navigation arrangements in the strategic waterway, which serves as one of the world’s most critical routes for global oil and energy supplies.
Analysts say the latest developments underline several key realities, including the persistence of US-Iran tensions despite ongoing dialogue, the increasing importance of regional mediators such as Pakistan and Oman, and the global sensitivity surrounding security in the Strait of Hormuz.
Experts warn that any prolonged disruption to shipping through the Strait could drive oil prices higher, increase volatility in global markets, and intensify political and military pressure across the Gulf region.
Iran and the United States have not officially disclosed full details regarding the negotiations or the proposals exchanged, while political messaging between both sides continues amid a highly sensitive regional climate.
