US And Iran Prepare New Round Of Talks

A possible date has been named.

The United States and Iran are actively discussing holding a new round of talks to end the war.

Associated Press reports Associated Press.

Date and place

According to AP, the meeting could take place as early as Thursday, April 16. The venue has not yet been finalized: two options are being considered - Pakistan's capital Islamabad or Geneva.

The Atlantic's journalist Arash Azizi, citing a source in Tehran, also noted that the talks are likely to take place in Islamabad.

Level of talks

According to media reports, US Vice President J.D. Vance, who led the US delegation during the first round, is likely to be absent from the meeting. The level of representation is expected to be lower.

Previous round and key demands

The first direct talks between the US and Iran were held April 10-12 in Islamabad. They lasted about 21 hours but ended without reaching an agreement.

The US insisted on Iran's complete abandonment of its nuclear program, particularly a 20-year moratorium on uranium enrichment. Iran rejected this proposal, offering a much shorter term of less than 10 years. It was this disagreement that became the main obstacle to the agreements.

The first round of direct talks between the United States and Iran, which took place in Islamabad on April 10-12, ended inconclusively due to Tehran's refusal to agree to Washington's key demand - a 20-year moratorium on uranium enrichment. The Iranian side insisted on a much shorter term.

After the dialog failed, US President Donald Trump announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, sending 15 warships to the region. In response

Tehran demanded compensation from five Arab countries, accusing them of complicity in the aggression, and threatened a sharp rise in global gasoline prices. Iran's parliament speaker said everyone would soon "remember with nostalgia the cheap gasoline at 4-5 dollars."
