“While after in-person expert talks between the Iranian and American delegations in Islamabad, the two sides had advanced to the text exchange stage to reach a common framework for negotiations, the American delegation has hindered the progress of the process by its recurring excessive demands,” Tasnim correspondent in Islamabad reported.

The consultations are still ongoing, but Iran insists on preserving its military achievements and emphasizes that the rights of the Iranian nation must be ensured.

The issue of the Strait of Hormuz is one of the issues that faces serious disagreement.

Earlier, a source close to the Iranian negotiating team had said that the next round of talks between Iran and the US will likely be held tonight or tomorrow .

Tasnim’s correspondent in Islamabad said on Saturday night that one phase of the face-to-face negotiations has ended, noting that the two delegations were exchanging texts.
