Washington, April 8, (dpa/GNA) – Following the agreed ceasefire in the Iran conflict, US President Donald Trump said he wanted Washington to hold direct negotiations with Tehran in the near future.
“It’s going to take place very soon,” the New York Post quoted him as saying in a telephone interview conducted on Wednesday.
On the US side, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff will be involved, as well as possibly Vice President JD Vance, the president said.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif previously invited delegations from the US and Iran to Islamabad on Friday for further talks, where they are to discuss a final agreement to resolve the conflict.
Pakistani sources say representatives from Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt could also take part in the talks.
These states had previously consulted with Pakistan on how the situation could be de-escalated.
