No Iranian delegation, primary or secondary, have travelled to Islamabad and that reports about the departure of such officials and claims about meeting times were inaccurate, IRIB reports

The absence of any Iranian delegation in Islamabad suggests a delay or breakdown in diplomatic talks, which could escalate tensions in the region. This misinformation or lack of engagement may impact sentiment around oil prices and safe-haven assets like gold, especially if it signals a prolonged period of geopolitical instability. Traders should remain vigilant for further developments that could affect market dynamics.
