Iranian officials, including Abbas Araghchi and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, reportedly faced serious security threats while returning from failed US talks in Islamabad. Political analyst Mohammad Marandi said the delegation received warnings their plane could be targeted, prompting a covert route change. Their aircraft diverted to Mashhad, after which they travelled to Tehran by train, bus, and car. Despite tensions and distrust toward the United States, both sides may resume negotiations in Pakistan within days. The earlier talks marked the first direct high-level engagement between Washington and Iran in over a decade but ended without a breakthrough.
