The ceasefire in the US Iran negotiations is about to expire, and the second round of face-to-face talks is imminent On April 14th, according to Bloomberg, insiders revealed that the United States and Iran are discussing a new round of face-to-face negotiations with the goal of reaching a longer-term ceasefire arrangement before the two-week ceasefire agreement announced on April 7th expires next week. At present, the most likely solution is to return to Islamabad, Pakistan, for the second round of talks. Türkiye and Egypt are also among the options. According to TASS, citing the American magazine The Atlantic, the next round of direct negotiations may be held on the 16th. The first round of negotiations in Islamabad chaired by Vice President Vance last weekend failed to achieve a breakthrough. Both the US and Iran attribute the breakdown of negotiations to each other - the US accuses Iran of refusing to give up its nuclear ambitions, while Iran claims that the US has made "excessive demands". But neither side closed the door to dialogue: the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the differences could not be resolved in one round, while Wans told Fox News that negotiations had made "significant progress" and stated that "the ball is on Tehran's side". He also warned that if Iran does not make progress in opening up the Strait of Hormuz, the negotiation situation will change. Trump's statement is even more high-profile. He said at the White House, 'This morning, the appropriate people called us and they hope to reach an agreement.' Although the identity of the caller was not disclosed, he made it clear that he is open to further dialogue and continues to push for a maritime blockade of the Strait of Hormuz to maintain pressure on Iran. It is worth noting that last Sunday, Trump praised the US envoy on social media for being "very friendly and respectful" towards the Iranian representative, which was seen as a positive signal by the outside world. Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif also stated that all parties are working hard to resolve the unresolved issues between the United States and Iran.
