No Iranian delegation has travelled to Pakistan so far to hold another round of talks with the US, Iran’s state-run broadcaster IRIB reported.
“So far, no Iranian delegation has travelled to Islamabad, Pakistan, neither the main delegation nor any subsidiary, primary, or secondary delegation,” the broadcaster said on Tuesday.
IRIB added that multiple media reports that an Iranian delegation would travel to Pakistan or that talks were scheduled for Monday evening or Tuesday morning “were untrue".
The report also cited Iranian officials’ remarks from Sunday evening, indicating that “continuing participation in talks depends on changes in the behaviour of the Americans” and that Tehran rejects negotiations “under the shadow of threats".
Pakistan hosted talks between the US and Iran on April 11-12 after brokering a 14-day ceasefire on April 8, which is set to expire on Wednesday.
Efforts for another round of negotiations in Islamabad are underway, though uncertainty remains.
Earlier, Pakistani sources said Iranian officials are expected to arrive in Islamabad on Tuesday.
The White House said Vice President JD Vance was ready to fly back to Pakistan, but Tehran kept up uncertainty on its participation, accusing the United States of violating a soon-to-expire ceasefire through its blockade of the Iranian ports and seizure of a ship.
Vance is expected to depart for Islamabad on Tuesday morning for talks.
The US has similarly accused Tehran of violating the truce by harassing vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, the transit passage for one-fifth of the world's oil that Iran had all but shut in retaliation for the war launched by the United States and Israel.
The White House spent Monday waiting for a signal from Tehran that it would send its negotiating team to Islamabad.
Mediators have asked Iranian officials to attend the talks, urging them to send a delegation.
US President Donald Trump says it is “highly unlikely” that he will extend the ceasefire and that a naval blockade will remain in place until a deal to permanently end the war that began on February 28 is reached.
