Date set for US-Iran talks!

Senior US officials state that efforts to continue talks between Washington and Tehran are ongoing and that both sides have shown willingness. It is suggested that the parties want to return to the table before the temporary ceasefire expires. However, details regarding the composition of the negotiating delegations are being kept confidential for now.

It has been suggested that the potential meeting could take place in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. It was also learned that Geneva, Switzerland, is among the alternative options for the meeting. It was noted that the talks are ultimately expected to be held on Thursday.

US President Donald Trump, in a statement to reporters in front of the White House, reiterated his clear stance on the nuclear program, saying, “We have agreed on many things with Iran, but we have not agreed on the nuclear issue, but I think they will accept that too. I am sure of it. Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. If they do not accept this, there will be no deal.” Trump also claimed that Iranian officials had contacted them, sending a message that the parties wanted to reach an agreement. However, he did not share information about the names participating in the talks.

LATEST NEGOTIATIONS ENDED WITHOUT RESULT

The conflicts in the region, which escalated with the attacks by the US and Israel on Iran on February 28, had subsided somewhat with the temporary ceasefire reached between the US and Iran on April 8. However, no consensus emerged from the last face-to-face meeting held in Pakistan. US Vice President JD Vance had announced to the public that the negotiations in Islamabad ended without reaching an agreement.

Iranian officials, for their part, stated that they attribute the responsibility for the failure to find common ground during the negotiation process to the “excessive demands” of the US. What kind of result will emerge from the new meeting is of close interest to the region and the international community.
