Recent reports indicate that a second round of talks between the United States and Iran could take place within the next three days, raising fresh attention on ongoing diplomatic efforts to ease tensions between the two countries.
Emerging Reports of Imminent Negotiations
According to a report by the New York Post, citing unnamed Pakistani sources, discussions for a second round of US–Iran talks may be held in Islamabad within 36 to 72 hours. The report also suggested that the initial round of talks had been facilitated with the involvement of Pakistan, which has played a mediating role in sensitive regional diplomacy in the past.
However, these claims have not been independently confirmed by official US or Iranian sources, leaving the timeline and venue of the proposed talks uncertain.
Trump’s Remarks on the Situation
US President Donald Trump responded cautiously when asked about the reported developments. In a text message cited by the New York Post, he said, “It’s possible!” when questioned about the likelihood of a second round of talks being held soon.
Trump also reportedly extended a two-week truce related to ongoing regional tensions just as it was nearing expiration, a move that has been interpreted as an effort to keep diplomatic channels open.

Background to the Diplomatic Efforts
The reported talks come amid continued efforts to manage tensions between Washington and Tehran, which have escalated in recent years due to disputes over nuclear activities and regional security concerns. While multiple countries have occasionally offered mediation, Pakistan has at times been mentioned as a potential facilitator due to its diplomatic ties with both sides.
Uncertainty Surrounding the Next Steps
Despite media reports suggesting an imminent meeting, there has been no official confirmation regarding the timing, location, or agenda of a second round of negotiations. Diplomatic sources remain cautious, emphasizing that discussions of this nature can change rapidly depending on political and security developments.
For now, the situation remains fluid, with international observers closely watching whether the reported talks will materialize in the coming days or remain speculative.
