US President Donald Trump announced that direct peace talks with an Iranian delegation in Islamabad will be held “very soon”, the American newspaper “New York Post” reports.
Trump added that US Vice President James David Vance may not attend the talks after all, “due to security reasons”.
He had previously said that Washington had agreed to a two-week bilateral ceasefire with Tehran, assuring that Iran had also agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council announced that Tehran would begin talks with the US in Islamabad on Friday, April 10, after the ceasefire began.
Two sources close to the Pakistani government said that the US delegation led by Vance and the Iranian delegation led by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi would arrive in Islamabad tomorrow to begin peace talks.
