TEHRAN: Iranian state television said Tuesday that no Iranian delegation had yet departed for talks with the United States in Pakistan.
“So far, no delegation from Iran has departed for Islamabad, Pakistan; whether it is the main or subsidiary delegation, primary or secondary,” state TV said, dismissing reports suggesting otherwise.
It quoted unnamed Iranian officials as saying that taking part of the negotiations “depends on the change in the behaviour and positions of the Americans.”
Iran’s powerful parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who led the talks with the US two weeks ago, had said Iran would “not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats.”
