Khaberni - U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview with The New York Post on Tuesday that talks on Iran may resume in Pakistan within the next two days.
The newspaper quoted Trump as saying, "Something may happen within the next two days, and we are more inclined to go there."
Trump mentioned that the commander of Pakistan's army, Asim Munir, is doing "a great job" in the talks.
Trump added, "He is great, and therefore we are likely to go back there."
Earlier on Tuesday, The Associated Press reported that the United States and Iran are considering holding new direct negotiations in an effort to reach an agreement aiming to end the ongoing war before the ceasefire expires next week.
The agency quoted U.S. officials and a person familiar with the developments as saying discussions are still ongoing about a new round of talks, while a diplomat from one of the intermediary countries went further, saying that Tehran and Washington had agreed to this.
The diplomat and U.S. officials mentioned that it is unclear whether the same delegation level is expected to attend.
Regarding Islamabad, two Pakistani officials reported that it had proposed hosting a second round of talks between Washington and Tehran in the coming days, before the ceasefire expires.
The two officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the press, said that the proposal would depend on a request from the parties to change the location of the talks.
One official explained that the initial talks, despite having ended without an agreement, are part of an ongoing diplomatic process, not a standalone effort.
However, the White House has not responded to inquiries regarding the possibility of new negotiations.
White House spokesperson Carolyn Levitt said: "President (Donald) Trump, his deputy (J.D.) Vance, and the negotiation team, have clearly stated the American red lines."
Meanwhile, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, in an interview with the "Special Report" program on Fox News, stated that the negotiations "made some progress" in Islamabad talks on insisting the United States remove nuclear materials from Iran, in addition to mechanisms ensuring no future enrichment of uranium.
Vance said in the interview: "They have moved towards us." He added that he believes the Iranian negotiators "are incapable of reaching an agreement" and that they need approval from other authorities in Tehran.
He expressed his belief that "there is indeed a significant agreement that can be reached. But it is up to the Iranians to take the next step."
Trump had earlier told reporters on Monday: "We received a call from the other side" and that they "are eager to reach an agreement."
