Washington, United States – US President Donald Trump announced that talks with Iran could resume within the next two days. He suggested a second round of negotiations in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad. The first round ended last weekend without a final agreement.
A shift in the American position
In a telephone interview with an American newspaper, Trump indicated that the possibility of resuming talks was now on the table.
He also urged anticipation of developments that might occur soon.
The US president had previously stated that there were no plans to hold a new round of negotiations in Pakistan,
before later confirming that this option had become “likely” given the ongoing diplomatic efforts.
Pakistan has emerged as a potential host for the next round of negotiations.
The country offered to host new talks between Washington and Tehran after the first round stalled.
Trump praised the role of the Pakistani military leadership, suggesting that Islamabad could provide
a suitable environment to advance dialogue between the two sides.
Ongoing diplomatic efforts
US officials confirmed that consultations are ongoing regarding the date and location of the next round of talks.
There is the possibility of it taking place within the next few days.
Diplomats also indicated a preliminary agreement between the United States and Iran to resume dialogue
within the framework of an ongoing negotiating process. This is not a temporary initiative.
While Islamabad is the most likely venue, other cities such as Geneva remain under consideration as alternative options for hosting the new round.
Details regarding delegation participation and the agenda have yet to be finalized.
The parties seek to create the necessary conditions for progress on outstanding issues, particularly given the current regional tensions.
These developments come amidst intensive international efforts to revive the diplomatic track between Washington and Tehran.
The goal is to reach understandings that contribute to de-escalation and enhanced stability in the region.
