Trump hints talks could resume this week as Vance says US wants 'grand bargain' with Iran
Iran says there is "no information" about any agreement for further discussions with the US after the first round failed to reach a peace deal.
www.bbc.comThe latest reports say U.S.-Iran peace talks may resume this week, possibly within the next two days in Islamabad, but nothing has been formally agreed yet. Iran has also said it has no confirmed information about a new round of talks after the first session ended without a deal.[2][3]
What’s happening
- Washington’s position: President Trump has said talks could restart soon and described the end goal as a broader “grand bargain,” while Vice President JD Vance said the U.S. wants a major agreement rather than a narrow one.[3][4]
- Iran’s position: Iranian officials say the previous round did not produce an agreement, and Tehran is signaling caution about the next steps.[2]
- Main sticking point: Reporting says the biggest unresolved issue is Iran’s nuclear program, including how long any enrichment limits would last.[5][9]
Why it matters
The talks are being watched closely because they could shape whether the current ceasefire holds and whether tensions around the Strait of Hormuz ease. Reuters-linked reporting also says there is active discussion about sending U.S. and Iranian teams back to Islamabad this week, but sources stress that no final arrangement is set.[1][10][2]
