Following the inconclusive talks between the US and Iran on April 11, it has been claimed that both sides are willing to hold a new face-to-face meeting on Thursday. Islamabad and Geneva are on the agenda as alternative locations for the negotiations.
While no results emerged from the talks following the 15-day temporary ceasefire, it was suggested that US and Iranian delegations could meet again.
DIPLOMATIC TRAFFIC ACCELERATED AFTER THE CEASEFIRE
The failure to achieve results from the talks held on April 11 between the US and Iran after the temporary ceasefire opened the door to a new diplomatic process. It was claimed that the parties are willing to meet face-to-face again before the ceasefire period expires.
AP: BOTH SIDES ARE INTENDING TO TALK
US officials, who spoke to the Associated Press (AP) and did not want their names disclosed, stated that representatives from the Washington and Tehran administrations intend to hold a new meeting. The officials reported that the process is ongoing but there is no clear information on who will be in the delegations.
ISLAMABAD OR GENEVA ON THE TABLE
It was stated that the talks could be held in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, while Geneva, Switzerland was also shown among the alternatives. Officials suggested that the critical contact could take place on Thursday.
TRUMP: IRAN CANNOT HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS
US President Donald Trump, in a statement in front of the White House, stated that a new deal with Iran is still possible, saying, "We agreed with Iran on many issues but not on the nuclear issue. I think they will accept this too. Iran cannot have nuclear weapons. If they do not accept this, there will be no deal."
CLAIM THAT "IRANIANS CALLED US"
Trump also claimed that Iranian officials contacted them and wanted to make a deal. However, he did not share details about who he spoke with.
NO AGREEMENT EMERGED FROM THE NEGOTIATIONS
The war that spread to regional countries after the attacks launched by the US and Israel on Iran on February 28 resulted in a ceasefire between the US and Iran on April 8.
US Vice President JD Vance announced that the direct negotiations with Iran in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, ended "without reaching an agreement."
The Iranian administration announced that the reason for not reaching a common framework and agreement in the negotiations was the excessive demands of the US.
