Iranian press had denied claims of negotiations with the US
The Iranian press had reported earlier in the day that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had arrived in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. It was claimed that the allegations that Araghchi would meet with US officials there were "untrue" and intended to mislead the public.
The report stated, "There is currently no negotiation with the US on the agenda.
Araghchi will not hold any meetings with US officials in Islamabad. Within the scope of the visit in question, Araghchi is expected to discuss Iran's assessments regarding the end of the war with the Pakistani side."
