The United States and Iran are considering a fresh round of talks later this week after 21 hours of negotiations in Islamabad ended without a deal. With a fragile ceasefire set to expire on April 21, both sides are weighing new in-person discussions, potentially on Thursday, with Geneva and Islamabad as possible venues. Donald Trump signalled openness to talks if Tehran shows flexibility, while JD Vance noted partial progress. Key sticking points include Iran’s nuclear programme, sanctions, and control of the Strait of Hormuz. (PC: X)
