The spokesperson for Iran’s Defence Ministry, General Reza Talaei-Nik, has stated that a “significant portion of the missile capabilities” of the country “remains unused”, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.
He also said that Iranian armed forces “maintained control over the skies of the occupied territories until the moment the ceasefire began”, according to Tasnim.
The position of the Iranians stated clearly that there is no planned meeting with the US officials in Islamabad, at least for the moment.
They ruled out any expectations of direct talks with the US representatives in Islamabad.
The blockade imposed by the United States over the Strait of Hormuz more than a week ago is blocking progress with any kind of talks and any kind of next round of talks in Islamabad.
