Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said Tehran is ready for dialogue, but won’t let Washington impose its terms
The US is in discussions on staging a second round of peace talks with Iran, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has said.
The first direct meeting between the sides since the US-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28 took place in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, at the weekend, but delivered no breakthrough. Tehran blamed the failure of the negotiations on Washington’s “unrealistic demands,” while the US reacted by announcing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz for Iran-linked vessels.
Speaking about the possibility of another round of talks during a briefing on Wednesday, Leavitt noted that “those discussions are being had, but nothing is official until you hear it from the White House.”
“We feel good about the prospects of a deal… and it’s obviously in the best interest of Iran to meet the president’s demands,” she added.
The talks “would very likely be in the same place as they were last time,” the spokeswoman said, referring to Islamabad.
