Trump says Iran talks ‘could happen in next two days’ in Pakistan

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has said that negotiations between the United States and Iran could take place within the next two days in Pakistan, signaling a possible breakthrough in ongoing diplomatic efforts.

Speaking to The Post, Trump suggested that discussions may begin very soon, adding that the situation remains fluid but “something could be happening over the next two days.”

He indicated that Pakistan’s role and its military leadership have been instrumental in facilitating the potential talks. The statement comes after the collapse of weekend negotiations that prompted Washington to impose a blockade on Iranian ports.

The comments come as backchannel diplomacy continues over ending tensions in the region, with Pakistan emerging as a key host for possible negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

Earlier reports have suggested that both sides are considering another round of high-level talks in Islamabad following previous discussions that ended without a final agreement.

While no official confirmation has been issued on timing, diplomatic sources indicate that preparations for renewed engagement are actively underway.
