WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the United States would “work closely” with Iran during the upcoming Islamabad Talks after a ceasefire brokered with Pakistan’s mediation.
Trump, in a post on his Truth Social platform, said that Washington and Tehran were moving toward a broader understanding, noting that several points of a proposed framework had already been agreed.
However, the US President maintains that there will be no uranium enrichment. “There will be no enrichment of Uranium.”
“There will be no enrichment of Uranium, and the United States will, working with Iran, dig up and remove all of the deeply buried (B-2 Bombers) Nuclear ‘Dust’,” he said, claiming it has been under “very exacting Satellite Surveillance” and “nothing has been touched from the date of attack.”
Trump said that the US is and will be in talks with Iran on “tariff and sanctions relief”.
He further said that many of the 15-points offered by the US have “already been agreed to”.
Earlier, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that the US, its allies, and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire “everywhere”, including Lebanon, following mediation by his government to stop weeks of fighting.
“I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere, including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY,” Sharif posted on X.
He added that Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, would welcome delegations from both countries on Friday to hold negotiations aimed at reaching a “conclusive agreement”.
“We earnestly hope that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in the coming days,” he said.
With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

Both Tehran and Washington announced they had agreed to a two-week ceasefire barely an hour before President Donald Trump’s deadline to obliterate Iran was set to expire.
Accepting Pakistan’s suggestion of a two-week ceasefire, US President Donald Trump announced a two-week suspension of military action against Iran following discussions with Pakistan’s leadership.

Trump said that after speaking with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, he agreed to pause planned strikes, contingent on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz “completely, immediately, and safely”.
“I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double-sided ceasefire!” he wrote on his Truth Social platform.
He added that US military objectives had already been achieved and that the pause would allow both sides to finalise a comprehensive agreement.
