Informed sources reported that the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, will witness intensive diplomatic activity, as US Vice President, De Vance, is scheduled to arrive by Tuesday morning. This visit comes within the framework of international efforts to hold direct talks with the Iranian side, aimed at drafting a final agreement that would lead to an end to the ongoing war.
In a related context, reports citing diplomatic sources indicated a state of procrastination in the Iranian position in recent hours. This procrastination, according to sources, is due to pressure exerted by the Revolutionary Guard on the negotiating delegation, with the aim of pushing it towards taking more radical and hardline positions on the terms of the anticipated agreement, which reflected a state of internal conflict over the ceiling of possible concessions.
Regarding the supreme leadership in Tehran, sources confirmed that the negotiating team remained in a state of anticipation for final directives from the Iranian Supreme Leader. The delegation had already received the 'green light' on Monday night, paving the way for the start of the crucial round of talks in Pakistan, amid international hopes that these moves would lead to a de-escalation of military tensions in the region.
The Iranian team awaited the green light from the Supreme Leader, and it came on Monday night.
