US, Iran Mull Second Round of Talks After Failed Islamabad Meeting

The U.S. and Iran are discussing another round of face-to-face talks for a longer-term ceasefire after negotiations in Islamabad led by Vice President JD Vance failed to produce a breakthrough.

The goal is to hold new talks before a two-week ceasefire announced April 7 expires next week, with a possible return to Islamabad or alternative venues under consideration.

Pakistan’s prime minister said efforts are ongoing, while Turkey and Egypt are also involved in diplomacy and could host a future meeting.
