New Delhi: In a stern message to Iran, US President Donald Trump on Saturday said that the American delegation will not travel for peace talks, adding that if Tehran wants to negotiate, it can reach out to Washington. He further added that the future discussions would be held over the phone.<\/p>\n

Trump told Fox News that it\u2019s not worth the US delegation making the 18-hour flight to Pakistan when the US holds all the cards in the conflict with Iran. He added that the Iranians can call the US at any time they want.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve told my people a little while ago they were getting ready to leave, and I said, \u2018nope, you\u2019re not making an 18 hour flight to go there. We have all the cards. They can call us anytime they want, but you\u2019re not going to be making any more 18 hour flights to sit around talking about nothing\u2019,\u201d Trump told Fox News.<\/p>\n

\nAbbas Araghch Leaves Pakistan:<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s comments come after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday left Islamabad after meeting Pakistan\u2019s top leadership. His departure has ended the possibility of a second round of talks between the US and the Iranian delegations in Islamabad this week.<\/p>\n

Araghchi, who met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir and other senior officials, is now headed to Oman on the second leg of his three-nation tour. This was supposed to be the second round of talks after the first on April 11-12 ended without a deal.<\/p>\n

The war began when the US and Israel jointly attacked Iran on February 28. The retaliation by the Islamic Republic extended the war to the entire Gulf region.<\/p>\n

Pakistan will be part of the talks<\/p>\n

The United States president also stated that as progress is made through phone-based discussions in the future, Pakistan will remain involved. He stated, \u201cThey will be part of it, but we will do this over the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Iran, he reiterated his long-standing position that the country must not acquire nuclear weapons. The US President said, \u201cThey cannot have nuclear weapons. In that case, there is no point in a meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n
