Arabic version: المفاوضون الأمريكيون يستعدون لمحادثات وقف إطلاق النار مع إيران في باكستان

President Donald Trump has announced that US negotiators will travel to the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, on Monday for talks aimed at ending the US-Israel war on Iran. This follow-up meeting comes after last weekend’s talks, which were led by Vice President JD Vance and concluded without a deal.

According to Al Jazeera, Trump did not specify which officials would represent the US in this second round of negotiations. The urgency for these talks has increased, particularly after Trump accused Iran of violating a two-week ceasefire that is due to expire on Wednesday by opening fire in the Strait of Hormuz.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump threatened to destroy civilian infrastructure in Iran if it doesn’t accept the terms of the deal being offered by the US. He described the deal on the table as “very fair and reasonable,” urging Iran to consider it seriously.

Iran has yet to respond to the announcement regarding the upcoming talks. However, shortly after Trump’s comments, the Iranian foreign ministry condemned the US naval blockade of its ports as a violation of the ceasefire. Spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei characterized the blockade as both unlawful and a form of collective punishment against the Iranian populace, labeling it a potential war crime.

As the situation develops, the international community watches closely, hoping for a breakthrough in the protracted conflict.
