U.S.-Iran Talks May Resume This Week, Media Says
(MENAFN) Fresh negotiations between Washington and Tehran could resume as early as this week, multiple sources told media on Tuesday, following the conclusion of the latest round of talks that ended without a breakthrough.
US officials indicated to a news agency that both Islamabad and Geneva are under consideration as potential venues for the next round of diplomatic engagement.
Core disputes remain deeply entrenched. Washington is pressing Tehran to halt uranium enrichment and surrender its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, while Iran is holding out for the unfreezing of its overseas assets and sweeping relief from existing sanctions — a fundamental gap that negotiators have yet to bridge.
The diplomatic push is unfolding against a tense military backdrop. The United States has imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports, and President Donald Trump has issued an unambiguous warning that US forces would "eliminate" any Iranian vessel that approaches the blockade line in the Strait of Hormuz.
With the clock ticking, mediators from Pakistan, Egypt, and Türkiye are actively working to revive negotiations ahead of the expiration of the current ceasefire, according to reports.
Despite the impasse, at least one regional source close to the process struck a cautiously measured tone. "We are not in a complete deadlock. The door is not closed yet. Both sides are bargaining. It's a bazaar," the source told media, the US online media outlet — suggesting that behind-the-scenes maneuvering continues even as public positions remain far apart.
