"Confident that contacts and consultations between Iran, Pakistan and 'our other friends' in the region will continue," the spokesperson said.
Iran's foreign ministry said no one had held any expectation that talks with the United States could have reached an agreement within one session after the negotiations in Islamabad stalled on Sunday.
"Naturally, from the beginning we should not have expected to reach an agreement in a single session. No one had such an expectation," ministry spokesperson Baqaei said, according to state broadcaster IRIB.
Meanwhile, the Iranian Embassy in Japan highlighted that Iran cannot secure through diplomacy what failed through military aggression. It further said that the "best and final offer"' that Vance raised cannot be seen as a unilateral mandate.

The Embassy said in a post on X, "A couple of points on the latest in Islamabad: You cannot secure through diplomacy what you failed to gain through military aggression; The assertion of a 'best and final offer' that JD Vance raised in his press conference is inherently reciprocal; it cannot be a unilateral mandate or a weapon to be used by one side."
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian earlier said that Iran entered the ongoing negotiations with the US with "determination and seriousness," while adding that the outcome of the talks would ultimately depend on Washington's approach.
