The Iranian Supreme National Security Council announced that a two-week negotiation will be held in Pakistan on April 10, despite complete distrust of the U.S. side. The negotiations aim to translate battlefield gains into political achievements; ending the conflict requires adherence to the ceasefire terms.

People’s Finance and Information, April 8—On April 8, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council issued a statement saying that, following the recommendations of Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and approval by the Supreme National Security Council, Iran will hold two-week negotiations with the U.S. in Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital, starting on the 10th. However, the Iranian side has “complete distrust” toward the U.S., the statement said.

The statement said that Iran “harbors complete distrust” toward the U.S., will allocate two weeks for the negotiations, and that—by mutual agreement—the negotiation timeline may be extended. During this period, Iran must maintain national unity, as this is a continuation of the struggle on the battlefield.

The statement also said that the negotiations do not mean the end of hostilities. Only by following the 10 ceasefire provisions, turning the “enemy’s surrender” on the battlefield into “decisive political achievements” in the talks, and finalizing the details through the negotiations, will Iran accept an end to the fighting.
