3:24Now PlayingThe prospect of Iran agreeing to more in-person peace talks with the US is being hindered by President Donald Trump's threats and brash social media posts, according to several officials with knowledge of the diplomatic efforts to end their war. Trump's Truth Social posts — as well as his decision to continue with a naval blockade of Iranian ports — have been detrimental to ongoing negotiations through mediators such as Pakistan, according to two US officials familiar with the matter. Our EMEA News Director Will Kennedy joins Stephen Carroll and Caroline Hepker to discuss. 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.
