The United States is in discussions to organize a second round of peace talks with Iran, confirmed White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt. The first direct meeting between the parties since the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28 took place in Islamabad over the weekend but concluded without concrete results. Tehran accused Washington of "unrealistic demands," while the U.S. responded by announcing a blockade in the Strait of Hormuz for vessels linked to Iran. Speaking about the possibility of continuing negotiations, Leavitt emphasized that discussions are still ongoing and nothing is official until an announcement from the White House. She added that the U.S. is optimistic about reaching an agreement, stressing that this is also in Iran's interest. According to her, future talks are likely to take place again in Islamabad, acknowledging Pakistan's mediating role in this diplomatic process. On the other hand, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that his country does not seek escalation or conflict but remains open to dialogue and cooperation with other nations. However, he warned that any attempt to impose conditions or pressure on Iran would fail. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that new talks could take place very soon, even within a few days, suggesting that the conflict may be close to a resolution. In the same vein, Pakistan's Finance Minister, Muhammad Aurangzeb, declared that his country will continue efforts to help achieve a diplomatic agreement between the parties. The situation remains tense, but signals of a return to the negotiating table offer hope for a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
