A second round of US\u2013Iran talks may be on the horizon as Pakistan and Geneva emerge as possible venues. With a ceasefire deadline looming, diplomatic efforts are intensifying to prevent renewed conflict.<\/p>\n

The United States and Iran are reportedly preparing for a possible second round of high-level negotiations<\/a>, as diplomatic efforts intensify to end a six-week conflict<\/a> before a fragile ceasefire expires next week.<\/p>\n According to AP sources and officials familiar with the matter, discussions are ongoing about holding new in-person talks, with Pakistan and Geneva emerging as potential venues. While no final decision has been made on timing or delegation levels, some officials suggest the meeting could take place as early as Thursday.<\/p>\n A diplomat involved in the mediation process went a step further, claiming that Tehran and Washington have already agreed to another round, though this has not been officially confirmed by either government.<\/p>\n The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n US President Donald Trump told reporters on Monday that diplomatic channels remain open, saying,\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019ve been called by the other side\u201d and \u201cthey want to work a deal.\u201d<\/p>\n The statement signals continued behind-the-scenes engagement despite earlier setbacks in negotiations.<\/p>\n Pakistan has re-emerged as a key diplomatic bridge between the two sides. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif confirmed that further negotiations are expected soon, describing the atmosphere after recent talks as constructive.<\/p>\n He said,\u00a0\u201cOnly positive progress has been observed,\u201d suggesting that discussions are still moving forward despite no final agreement yet.<\/p>\n The recent negotiations, held in Pakistan, lasted 21 hours and marked the first high-level direct engagement between the US and Iran since 1979. However, the talks ended without a lasting agreement.<\/p>\n US Vice President JD Vance, who led the American delegation, said Iran did not accept Washington\u2019s conditions to end hostilities, even after what he described as a \u201cfinal and best offer.\u201d<\/p>\n Following the collapse of the talks, Trump said on social media that negotiations failed because \u201cIran is unwilling to give up its nuclear ambitions.\u201d<\/p>\n With AP inputs<\/p>\n Published: 14 Apr 2026, 12:11 pm IST<\/p>\n
