According to ISNA, he underscored that the &#8216;Islamic Republic has not backed down one iota and will not,&#8217; signifying a firm stance as the two-week ceasefire window nears its conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>These remarks come at a critical juncture as the current ceasefire is set to end on April 22. The first round of negotiations ended in a gridlock between Tehran and Washington over the energy artery, the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran&#8217;s nuclear capacities.<\/p>\n<p>With the ceasefire set to lapse on Wednesday, the Islamabad talks represent the final diplomatic off-ramp before a potential escalation into full-scale infrastructure warfare.<\/p>\n<p>While the US maintains that a &#8216;fair and reasonable&#8217; deal is on the table, the Iranian leadership&#8217;s refusal to negotiate under the &#8216;shadow of a blockade&#8217; suggests that the 21-hour marathon of the previous round may have been just a prelude to a much darker confrontation.
