US and Iran begin indirect talks via Pakistan mediation

While the complex political situation in the Middle East continues, the first stage of indirect negotiations between the USA and Iran has taken place. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
International news agencies are reporting on this matter. The parties preferred to exchange views through mediators rather than communicating directly with each other.
Specifically, the government of Pakistan acted as the mediator in this process. US and Iranian delegations held separate meetings with Pakistani representatives to convey their demands and proposals.
So far, no direct and open negotiations between the two countries are planned. The Iranian side submitted a list reflecting its firm demands to the USA through the mediator.
Tehran describes these conditions as fundamental and mandatory requirements for future agreements. Iran's primary demands include the recognition of full sovereign control over the Strait of Hormuz, payment of compensation for the consequences of military actions in the region, and the return of Iranian assets frozen in foreign banks.
Additionally, Tehran is demanding clear guarantees to establish long-term and stable peace in the region. According to analysts, these conditions may significantly complicate the negotiation process.
Iran's position is aimed at maintaining its political influence in the region and reducing economic pressure. So far, Washington officials have not expressed a clear reaction to the demands put forward by Tehran.
Nevertheless, the engagement of the parties in dialogue is being evaluated as an important step toward reducing tension and ensuring security in the region. The future direction of these negotiations will directly impact the overall stability of the Middle East.
