Iran's foreign minister met Sultan Haitham bin Tariq in Muscat, then spent about three hours in Islamabad, where Fars said he relayed messages to Washington on Iran's 'red lines' on nuclear issues and Hormuz, before leaving for Russia. Trump told Fox News Iran 'can call us' and that he would not send envoys on an 18-hour trip, while Pezeshkian told Pakistan's prime minister the US must first lift its blockade.

Why it matters

With face-to-face talks off, Pakistan kept the indirect channel open while Tehran courted Oman and Russia.
