Iran Officially Says "No Decision on Participation"

While Iran has not yet confirmed its participation in the second ceasefire talks, it is reported that the United States expects Iran to attend the meeting.


According to Al Jazeera on April 20 (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump said in a phone call with a reporter that the U.S. delegation is scheduled to arrive in Islamabad soon, adding, "At this point, I don't think anyone is playing games."


Additionally, President Trump reportedly told the Al Jazeera reporter that while he did not join the U.S. negotiating team for the call, he would be willing to meet with Iranian leaders. This suggests that Iran is expected to participate in the second round of talks.



Previously, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it has no plans to pursue new talks in connection with the incident near the Strait of Hormuz, in which U.S. forces seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship.
