U.S., Iran may hold second round of talks on Thursday: Report

Associated Press reported, citing four informed sources, that the United States and Iran have agreed to move toward a second round of negotiations, which could take place as early as Thursday.

According to the report published on Tuesday, both sides are assessing options to resume talks in an effort to reach an agreement before the current ceasefire expires.

Mediators are continuing diplomatic efforts to organize the next round, with Islamabad emerging as a likely venue, although the exact timing and location have not been finalized.

U.S. President Donald Trump previously said that Iranian officials are seeking a deal, signaling Washington’s openness to continued engagement.

Meanwhile, Masoud Pezeshkian said that Tehran has not halted the negotiation process, indicating that diplomatic channels remain active despite recent setbacks.

The first round of direct talks between U.S. and Iranian delegations was held in Islamabad last Saturday but ended without a breakthrough.

The negotiations were part of broader efforts to de-escalate tensions following weeks of conflict and to preserve a fragile ceasefire agreement.

The prospect of renewed talks reflects cautious optimism, but significant differences remain, leaving the outcome uncertain as the ceasefire deadline approaches.
