He said Tehran is instead focusing its diplomatic efforts on engagement with Pakistan. As part of this effort, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Islamabad on an official visit, where he is expected to hold talks with the country’s leadership.

According to Baqaei, Iran hopes that Pakistan’s mediation can help halt what Tehran describes as a US-imposed escalation and contribute to restoring stability in the region.

He reiterated that Tehran’s position will be conveyed to the Pakistani side, stressing again that no direct talks with the United States are currently planned.
