[Iran Denies Reports of Second Round of Talks in Islamabad] BlockBeats News, April 20, reports from the Iranian side indicate that the news about holding a second round of talks in Islamabad is untrue. The Iranian side stated that due to the excessive, unreasonable, and unrealistic demands from the United States, its frequently changing positions, ongoing contradictions, and continued maritime blockade along with its threatening rhetoric, progress in negotiations has been hindered thus far. Under such circumstances, the prospects for achieving results in the talks remain unclear. Previously, on April 19, the Islamic Republic News Agency of Iran posted an English message on social media, stating that Iran refused to participate in a second round of talks with the United States.
