Iran US conflict: Will Talks Between Iran and US Resume? What Pakistan Told?
Pakistan has said that the next round of talks between Iran and the United States could begin soon.
Pakistan's Defense Minister, Khawaja Asif, has remarked that, given the continuation of the ceasefire and the prevailing positive atmosphere, the next round of talks between Iran and the US is expected to take place shortly.
While speaking to journalists outside the Parliament House in Islamabad on Monday, Asif said, "Following the recent discussions, a satisfactory atmosphere prevails, and no negative developments have emerged thus far."
He further added, "Normal conditions have been observed, and this should be viewed as an indication that diplomatic efforts are moving in the right direction."
Earlier, Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif had stated that the ceasefire established between the two sides has kindled hopes for moving forward.
It is noteworthy that the first round of talks was hosted in Islamabad, Pakistan; while representatives from both Iran and the US participated, the discussions concluded without yielding any concrete results.
Iran propose halting uranium enrichment for five years
Amidst speculation continues regarding a second round of talks between Iran and the United States, Iran has proposed halting uranium enrichment for five years. However, the U.S. has rejected this offer and demanded a moratorium lasting 20 years.
Media reports state that during talks held in Pakistan, the U.S. and Iran put forward differing proposals regarding the cessation of nuclear activities, but no consensus could be reached on an agreement between the two sides.
Nevertheless, the discussions suggest that the possibility of a peace agreement remains open, and a second round of talks could still take place.
The United States has consistently maintained that Iran's nuclear ambitions constitute a major underlying cause of this dispute.
On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump also reiterated that the United States would ensure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
