After the ceasefire agreement, negotiations between the United States and Iran are set to begin on Friday, April 10th, in Islamabad, Pakistan. However, these talks are expected to be tense due to the temporary nature of the ceasefire established in recent days.
The discussions between the United States and Iran are highly anticipated. Following the fragile ceasefire agreement, Washington and Tehran will meet in Islamabad, Pakistan, starting from Friday, April 10th, over a month after the start of the conflict in the Middle East. These talks are aimed at reaching a “lasting peace,” according to Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, as reported by franceinfo.
President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire agreement in Iran earlier this week, just before the end of his ultimatum. The president will not be attending in person, but Vice President J.D. Vance will be present, along with special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law. The discussions will focus on the plan proposed by Iran.
Are there already disagreements? A list of ten points is seen as “a viable basis for negotiation,” according to Trump. Control of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran, the lifting of sanctions, a U.S. commitment to non-aggression, and uranium enrichment are elements included in this plan. Trump has already expressed his disagreement on the last point, indicating that discussions between Washington and Tehran could become tense.
But will the talks actually take place? Recent Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon cast doubt on Iran’s participation in these negotiations. “The holding of talks aimed at ending the war depends on the U.S. respecting their ceasefire commitments on all fronts, particularly in Lebanon,” warned Esmaeil Baqaei, a spokesperson for the Iranian diplomacy, as reported by Isna news agency. According to Le Parisien, the Iranian president has mentioned “meaningless negotiations” due to the situation in Lebanon.
