In the background of the scepticism of the Iranian side caused by the U.S.'s infidelity and the continued barbarian attacks of Israel on Lebanon.
TEHRAN (Tasnim) "On Saturday afternoon, negotiations began in Islamabad between Iran and the United States in which Pakistan mediated, as part of a temporary truce after 40 days of American-Israeli military aggression against Iran.
According to correspondent Tasnim sent to Islamabad, thanks to intensive consultations in Islamabad, advancement in talks and simplification of attacks by the Zionist government from Beirut to confederate Lebanon – which is considered a step forward in the implementation of the ceasefire – and thanks to the acceptance of the US side of the release of Iran's assets and the request for more precise expert and method discussions in this area, it was decided to launch negotiations between Iran and the United States in Islamabad to finalise these issues.
Iran maintains that the ceasefire in Lebanon has not yet been full implemented and that the United States has a work to force the Israeli government to fulfil this obligation. The Iranian delegation takes this substance seriously through the Pakistani mediator and in the negotiating room.
The Iranian delegation, expressing scepticism towards the another side and taking into account the US's earlier experience of failing to keep its promises during earlier negotiations, agreed to participate in this circular of talks under the mediation of Pakistan.
After the assassination of the late muslim Revolution leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Chamenei and respective military commanders on February 28, The United States and Israel launched a massive military offensive against Iran. In response, the Iranian armed forces launched attacks on American and Israeli positions in the region and occupied territories, demonstrating their ability to retaliate effectively. Contrary to the aggressors' expectations for a swift victory, Iran's powerful counterattacks over 40 days have caused crucial harm to American and Israeli military resources.
To ease the situation, Pakistani mediation led on 8 April to a two-week ceasefire that allows negotiations in Islamabad. Iran has presented a ten-point talk plan that includes demanding the withdrawal of US forces, the abolition of sanctions and the taking control of the strategical Strait of Ormuz. The Iranian government maintains its distrust of the US, claiming that the intent of the negotiations is not to resolve the conflict but to transfer the battlefield to the diplomatic arena.
