US-Iran talks could resume in Pakistan: Trump
Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that peace talks between the United States and Iran could resume in Pakistan “over the next two days”.
“Something could be happening over the next two days, and we’re more inclined to go there,” Trump said in an interview with the New York Post. “It’s more likely, you know why? Because the field marshal is doing a great job,” he said.
Trump said Pakistan’s Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir was doing a “great job” on the talks.
“He’s fantastic, and therefore it’s more likely that we go back there,” Trump said.
Discussions are quietly continuing after the US and Iranian delegations ended marathon negotiations over the weekend in Islamabad.
US, Iran weigh second round of talks
The US and Iran are weighing a second round of peace negotiations, with Tehran considering a temporary pause in shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.
Pakistan, which mediated the first round of high-stakes US-Iran talks in Islamabad last weekend, has intensified diplomatic efforts to sustain dialogue and prevent further escalation.
Iranian officials are exploring a short-term halt to shipments via the vital energy corridor to avoid testing a US naval blockade and to create space and resume peace talks, according to Bloomberg.
