US President Donald Trump has indicated that a new round of peace talks with Iran could take place as early as Friday, although he stressed that the timing remains uncertain and no final agreement has been confirmed.
Speaking to reporters and in brief remarks carried by US media, Trump described the potential talks as “possible,” suggesting that diplomatic channels remain open despite ongoing tensions between Washington and Tehran. However, officials have not confirmed a fixed schedule for negotiations.
The development comes amid continued mediation efforts involving Pakistan, which previously hosted indirect discussions between the two sides earlier this month. Those talks ended without a breakthrough, but diplomatic engagement has continued behind the scenes.
The proposed negotiations are part of broader efforts to reduce tensions following months of confrontation linked to regional security concerns and disputes over strategic maritime routes, including the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has not yet issued an official confirmation regarding participation in any Friday meeting, and sources suggest internal consultations are still underway in Tehran. Observers say uncertainty remains over whether both sides will agree on the format and scope of the next round.
Despite the lack of clarity, analysts view Trump’s remarks as a signal that backchannel diplomacy remains active, even as major issues between the two countries remain unresolved.
