President Masoud Pezeshkian says Iran has entered the talks with the United States in Islamabad with "determination and seriousness," stressing that the success of the process depends on Washington's approach.

The Iranian president says the country’s senior negotiators are bravely engaged in the talks with the US in Islamabad to defend national interests.

Iran’s deputy foreign minister says the Islamic Republic is fully prepared for all scenarios in its ongoing negotiations with the US. 

Iran and the United States have begun a first round of negotiations in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad aimed at permanently ending a US-Israeli war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

The Iranian negotiators, led by the Parliament speaker, hold a meeting with the Pakistani prime minister in Islamabad.

The US reportedly agrees to release frozen Iranian assets in Qatar and foreign banks as a precondition ahead of the Islamabad talks.

The Iranian vice president has warned that an agreement with the US is not possible if the US delegation represents the interests of the Israeli regime.
