According to Donald Trump and sources from Pakistan who spoke to the New York Post, positive signals for renewed talks between the United States and Iran could emerge as early as Friday. Sources in Islamabad referenced positive mediation efforts with Tehran, reviving the possibility of further peace negotiations within the next “36 to 72 hours.” When asked about this development, Trump responded with a message that “it’s possible,” leaving room for potential developments.
This development comes one day after the American president announced an extension of the current ceasefire with Iran, until the Iranian side submits a unified proposal that overcomes their internal differences.
Trump: The ceasefire will continue until Iran submits a proposal
In a Tuesday post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated that he has ordered U.S. military forces to maintain the blockade and remain on standby, noting that the ceasefire will continue until a proposal is submitted and negotiations are completed.
Meanwhile, according to Pakistani sources, Islamabad continues its diplomatic contacts with Tehran, with the aforementioned timeline based on assessments of progress from these efforts.
The same sources note that despite intense rhetoric, the ceasefire is being observed so far, with no military escalation recorded from either side, which is interpreted as a sign of positive intent to continue dialogue.
