The Iranian Foreign Ministry confirmed that Pakistan will remain the official mediator in talks with the United States, indicating the continuation of diplomatic channels despite the complicated political scene.

The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismail Baqaei, clarified that expecting quick results is "unrealistic," emphasizing that Tehran seeks a path that ensures the complete elimination of the threat of war, not just temporary solutions.

Reports, including one published by The Wall Street Journal, revealed that Iran is facing increasing difficulties in breaking the U.S. blockade on its ports, leading to the disruption of oil smuggling networks that it has relied on for years.

With the tightening of U.S. maritime surveillance, oil tankers have failed to bypass the imposed blockade even to the Indian Ocean. As a result, Iran has turned to transporting part of its exports overland to China, along with securing its food imports through the Caucasus and Pakistan.

The continuation of Pakistani mediation reflects Tehran's commitment to diplomatic solutions, despite economic and military pressures. However, the disparity between the negotiation process and the reality of the blockade highlights the complexity of the current phase.
