Iran confirmed ongoing indirect negotiations with the United States on Monday, mediated by Pakistan. Tehran made it clear that it would not compromise on its 'nuclear rights' despite diplomatic tensions.

ISNA reported that Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei announced the exchange of proposals with Washington through Pakistan. The talks follow a structured format, with Iran initially offering a 14-point framework. Although publicly rejected by the US, the discussions continue with Iran sending updated counter-proposals.

Baghaei emphasized Iran's unwavering stance on its right to enrich uranium under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), illustrating Tehran's hardline approach amid Trump's aggressive warnings.
