US-Iran Talks: Breakthrough possible within 72 hours as ceasefire holds
Fresh diplomatic momentum is building between the United States and Iran, with “good news” on a potential second round of talks expected as early as Friday, according to a report by the New York Postciting Donald Trump and Pakistani sources.
Officials in Islamabad have indicated that mediation efforts with Tehran are progressing positively, raising hopes for renewed peace negotiations within the next 36 to 72 hours. Responding to queries about a possible breakthrough, Trump said to New York Post in a brief message: “It’s possible!”
Ceasefire Extension Signals Diplomatic Window
The latest development comes shortly after Trump announced an extension of the ongoing ceasefire with Iran. The decision is aimed at giving Iran’s leadership more time to present a “unified proposal” for negotiations.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that US military forces have been instructed to maintain the blockade while remaining fully prepared. However, active hostilities will remain paused until diplomatic discussions move forward or reach a conclusion.
This move is being seen as an effort to create space for diplomacy while maintaining strategic pressure.
Next 72 Hours Crucial
The next 36 to 72 hours are expected to be critical in determining whether ongoing mediation efforts lead to formal talks.
If successful, the anticipated second round of negotiations could mark a significant step toward de-escalation in US-Iran tensions, with Pakistan’s diplomatic role remaining central to the process.
