Despite Islamabad leaving without a deal, recent developments suggest that communications between the United States and Iran may not have been completely cut off, the BBC reports.
US Vice President JD Vance has stated that Washington has presented "the best and final offer", while reports speak of continued indirect contacts between the parties through the mediation of Pakistan.
However, these possible talks have not been officially confirmed by either the US or Iran, making their nature and content unclear. Historically, communications through intermediary channels between the two countries have been difficult to verify and often shrouded in diplomatic discretion.
On the other hand, a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry stressed that Tehran did not expect to reach an agreement in a single round of talks, leaving open the possibility of continuing the dialogue.
The situation also reflects the clash of narratives between the parties, which often address domestic audiences with strong public positions, while behind the scenes efforts at compromise may be taking place.
Meanwhile, the future of the ceasefire remains uncertain, as the impact of the conflict continues to be felt on regional and global stability, as well as on the lives of civilians affected by the war.
