US President Donald Trump has said that negotiations between the United States and Iran could resume in Islamabad within the next two days, signaling a possible continuation of the recent ceasefire diplomacy.
Trump also praised Pakistan’s army chief, Asim Munir, describing him as a “fantastic” mediator in the process. His comments came as Pakistan continues to play a visible role in efforts to help facilitate talks.
The president made the remarks on Tuesday in a call with a New York Post reporter who had travelled to Islamabad for the first round of ceasefire talks over the weekend. According to the reporter, Trump called her back “with an update” after they had discussed the prospects for negotiations.
The possibility of renewed talks comes amid wider tensions in the Middle East, where diplomatic efforts remain closely watched. Trump’s comments suggest that Islamabad may again serve as a venue for further discussion between the US and Iran.
No additional details were given about the agenda for the talks, the participants, or whether the next round has been formally confirmed. But Trump’s remarks indicate that momentum toward another meeting could be building quickly.
Pakistan’s involvement, and Trump’s public praise for Munir, highlight the role regional intermediaries may play in helping keep channels open as the situation develops.
