YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President Trump told reporters he would not use a nuclear weapon against Iran and once again said that he doesn't see conflict with Iran lasting much longer as he took questions at an Oval Office event on drug pricing. Trump told reporters that rising gas prices are not as high as he expected, but warned that Americans will be paying more for gas for a 'little while.' The president also commented on the ousting of Navy Secretary James Phelan, saying that conflicts emerged about shipbuilding. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to arrive in Pakistan’s capital on Friday night for a possible second round of peace talks with the US, according to officials in Islamabad familiar with the matter.

A US logistics and security team is already in Islamabad to prepare for the talks, the officials said in a message to reporters, asking not to be identified because the discussions aren’t public. A second round of peace talks between the US and Iran in Islamabad is expected, the officials said, without saying when the negotiations would take place.

The US and Iran were set to hold peace talks in the Pakistani capital earlier this week. President Donald Trump canceled plans to send Vice President JD Vance to Islamabad on Tuesday after extending a ceasefire with Iran indefinitely.

A US Embassy spokesman in Islamabad declined to comment, while the Iranian Embassy didn’t immediately respond.
