KALININGRAD, April 15. /TASS/. Results of the first round of talks between the United States and Iran in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad earlier this month indicate that Washington is aware of a possible deadlock situation, Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin said on Wednesday.
"The first round of negotiations in Islamabad suggests that the opposite side [the United States] has a certain understanding that the situation may end in a deadlock," Naryshkin told journalists after the 25th joint meeting of the Boards of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) and Belarus’ State Security Committee (KGB).
The meeting between the SVR and KGB Boards took place earlier in the day in Russia’s westernmost Kaliningrad Region.
Iran and the United States held several rounds of talks in Islamabad on April 11. The Iranian delegation was led by parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, while Vice President JD Vance headed the US delegation.
Both Tehran and Washington said following the negotiations that no agreement on finding a long-term solution to the conflict had been reached due to a range of disagreements. Details regarding a potential new round of talks remain unavailable.
