ISLAMABAD: Donald Trump has announced that American negotiators will travel to Islamabad on Monday to take part in fresh talks aimed at securing a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
In a social media post on Sunday, Trump said the United States would send a delegation to Pakistan for a second round of in-person discussions. However, he did not specify which officials would be part of the negotiating team. Previous talks held in Islamabad last week, led by Vice President JD Vance, concluded without an agreement.
The announcement comes amid rising tensions, with Trump accusing Iran of breaching a two-week ceasefire — set to expire on Wednesday — by engaging in hostile activity in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday.
In his statement, the US president issued a strong warning to Tehran, saying Washington has presented what he described as a “fair and reasonable” deal. He cautioned that failure to accept the proposal could result in severe consequences, including potential strikes on critical infrastructure.
The development signals renewed diplomatic efforts but also underscores the fragile state of negotiations, as both sides remain far apart on key issues.
Further details are awaited as the situation continues to evolve.
