Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam appeared to have deleted a post on X that said his country’s delegation would arrive in Islamabad on Thursday night ahead of talks with the US this weekend.

The post had said the delegation was coming “despite skepticism of Iranian public opinion due to repeated ceasefire violations by Israeli regime to sabotage the diplomatic initiative.”

The Iranian embassy in Pakistan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The White House confirmed on Thursday that Vice President JD Vance would lead a US delegation to Islamabad on Saturday for the first round of peace talks. The talks are set even as the Strait of Hormuz remained largely closed and Israel continued to launch an assault on Lebanon. Iranian officials have described the Israeli strikes as a violation of the ceasefire terms.

The text of the original post from Thursday is below:

Despite skepticism of Iranian public opinion due to repeated ceasefire violations by Israeli regime to sabotage the diplomatic initiative, invited by Hon. PM Shehbaz Sharif, Iranian delegation arrives tonight in Islamabad for serious talks based on 10 points proposed by Iran.
