\nUnited States President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iran talks could resume in Pakistan over the next two days, according to an interview with the New York Post.
\n\u201cYou should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days, and we\u2019re more inclined to go there,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s more likely, you know why? Because the field marshal is doing a great job,\u201d he said, referring to Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of the Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir.
\nContinuing his praise for the military chief, Trump said: \u201cHe\u2019s fantastic, and therefore it\u2019s more likely that we go back there. Why should we go to some country that has nothing to do with it?\u201d
\nNegotiating teams from the US and Iran could return to Islamabad this \u200bweek to resume talks to end the war, sources earlier told Reuters on Tuesday, after the collapse of weekend negotiations prompted Washington to impose a blockade on Iranian ports.
\nWhile \u200cthe US blockade drew angry rhetoric from Tehran, signs that diplomatic engagement might continue helped calm oil markets, pushing benchmark prices below $100 on Tuesday.
\nThe highest-level talks between the two adversaries since the 1979 Islamic Revolution ended in Islamabad without a breakthrough at the weekend, raising doubts over the survival of a two-week ceasefire that still has a week to run.
\nBut a source involved in the talks said on Tuesday both countries could return as early as the end \u200bof this week, and that a proposal had been shared with Washington and Tehran to resend their delegations. \u201cNo firm date has been set, with the delegations keeping Friday through \u200bSunday open,\u201d a senior Iranian source said.
\nA US official said there was continued engagement and \u200cforward motion on trying to get to an agreement. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also said efforts were still underway to resolve the conflict.
\nUS President Donald Trump said Iran had been in touch on Monday and wanted to make a deal, adding that he would not sanction any agreement that allowed Tehran to possess a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
