Iran has not yet decided whether it will attend a new round of peace talks with the United States in Islamabad, as tensions rise ahead of the expiry of a two week ceasefire that also includes Israel. A foreign ministry spokesman said Tehran had entered earlier negotiations in good faith but accused Washington of inconsistency and a lack of seriousness, citing shifting positions and renewed military threats from President Donald Trump.

The uncertainty comes amid heightened friction in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran condemned a recent United States naval action against one of its vessels as piracy and a violation of the truce, while rejecting accusations that it had failed to reopen the strategic waterway as agreed. The closure has contributed to global economic disruption.

Pakistan, acting as mediator, confirmed that Iran has not given a formal response and is urging Tehran to participate before the ceasefire ends. President Trump has increased pressure on Iran to attend, warning he is prepared to resume military action and reiterating threats against infrastructure targets. Previous rounds of talks were derailed by military strikes, and despite reported progress in the most recent meeting, significant gaps remain between the two sides.
