Trump has warned that if a deal is not signed, he will blow up every power plant and bridge in Iran.Although Iran has not yet announced any decision on signing the agreement or sending a delegation to peace talks in Islamabad, multiple sources in Pakistan told the New York Post that Tehran is interested in a second round of talks, but no decision has been made yet.
Earlier, Donald Trump said on Sunday that US representatives including Vice President JD Vance, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would visit Islamabad for a new round of talks. On April 11-12, Pakistan hosted the first direct high-level meeting between the United States and Iran since diplomatic relations were severed in 1979. However, the talks ended without any resolution. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Pakistani Foreign Minister Eshaq Dar spoke by phone on Monday amid rising tensions. Iranian local media reported that the call took place amid uncertainty over a new round of talks between Iran and the United States in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad.
