Following the official announcement of the failure of negotiations between Iran and Washington in Islamabad, several officials of the Islamic Republic reacted to these talks.

On the morning of Sunday, April 23, 1405, the head of the ideological and political organization of the police stated: "Even if an agreement is reached, we will not compromise with infidelity; the agreement is meant to end the war, not to reconcile between the Islamic Republic and the United States." He also called for "an apology from Trump and Netanyahu and their acknowledgment of their mistakes."

At the same time, "Hamidreza Hajibabaei," the deputy speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, emphasized that the Islamic Republic does not have a "negotiating team," and the individuals sent to Pakistan went for "soft warfare" and "struggle in the field of diplomacy" to advance "America's surrender at the United Nations." According to him, any outcome other than this is unacceptable. Regarding the presence of the Islamic Republic's delegation in Pakistan, he stated, "Our negotiation is our war," and the message from "our people" in the streets is that the discourse of the Islamic Republic is "the discourse of the sword." Hajibabaei continued: "The current war of America and Israel against the Islamic Republic is a fundamental war, and as long as we do not bring America to its knees, this war will continue."

Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, the head of the judiciary of the Islamic Republic, wrote in a message that the negotiators sent by the Islamic Republic to Islamabad, Pakistan, were "guardians of the rights in the field."

"Mohammad Javad Zarif," the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic during the presidency of "Hassan Rouhani" and a senior member of the Iranian negotiating team during the "JCPOA," also referred to a statement by J.D. Vance in a press conference after the negotiations ended, where he said, "They decided not to accept our conditions." In his X account, he wrote: "Do you want to know why the negotiations failed? No negotiation—at least with Iran—will succeed based on 'our/your conditions.' The United States must learn this: you cannot dictate terms to Iran. It is still not too late to learn."

"Ismail Baqaei," the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, after the official announcement of the end of negotiations, emphasized the atmosphere of "distrust and suspicion" between the two negotiating delegations, stating: "We reached an understanding on a number of issues, but on two or three important topics, there was a gap in views, and ultimately, the discussions did not lead to an agreement."
