“Talks between Tehran and Washington have not come to a deadlock and continue with Islamabad acting as mediator”
DISPUTED
The claim states talks have not come to a deadlock and continue. However, Wikipedia evidence explicitly states that on April 13, 2026, the US imposed a naval blockade on Iran 'following the failure of the Islamabad Talks to end the 2026 Iran war,' directly contradicting the claim that talks are continuing and not deadlocked.
