American negotiators «are going to Islamabad, Pakistan. They will be there tomorrow for negotiations.” Donald Trump announces it on his social network Truth. Jared Kushner will also be involved in the negotiations in Pakistan. Trump told the New York Post, returning to not ruling out the possibility of his trip to Islamabad if an agreement was reached. “We have to see what happens tomorrow”, he explained even if “everything has already been negotiated: tomorrow evening in Islamabad it should be quick” Trump said this time in an interview with Fox, reiterating however that if Iran does not sign the United States will blow up the power plants.
Iran has not yet decided whether to send a negotiating delegation to Islamabad for talks with Washington and no talks will take place as long as the US naval blockade remains in force: this was reported by the Tasnim news agency, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, citing an informed source. Iran International reports it. Tasnim adds that, after the conclusion of the first round of talks between the United States and Iran, the “Pakistani mediator” continued to play his role, exchanging messages between the two sides.
On the contrary, Iranian sources close to the negotiations with the US, as reported by CNN, reported that an Iranian delegation will arrive in Pakistan on Tuesday. Tehran’s team should be the same as the last round, with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. The Iranians – the sources add – expect an announcement of an extension of the ceasefire on Wednesday. If things go well and Donald Trump agrees to go to Islamabad, the Iranian president will also go to Pakistan for a “meeting” and the signing of a “joint declaration”.
Media Iran, ‘Tehran rejected the second round of talks’
Iran has rejected the possibility of a second round of peace talks with the United States, Iranian state news agency IRNA reported, as reported by Sky News.
