The United States and Iran may be on the verge of a second round of negotiations aimed at resolving their ongoing conflict, according to sources from the Associated Press. The discussions come as both sides seek to finalize a deal before the expiration of a ceasefire in the next week. Two US officials and a diplomat from a mediating country indicated that talks are still in progress, with some suggesting that Tehran and Washington have tentatively agreed to the negotiations. The exact level of delegation expected to participate remains uncertain. Potential host locations for the talks include Islamabad, Pakistan, and Geneva, Switzerland, with discussions about timing suggesting that negotiations could take place as soon as Thursday. The White House has not yet responded to inquiries regarding these developments. Former President Donald Trump stated that “the other side” has reached out, expressing a desire to work towards a deal.
