Following the initiation of a US blockade on Iranian ports, American diplomats and officials, as reported by the Associated Press, have suggested that negotiations between the two nations might resume as early as Thursday.
Despite the conclusion of discussions in Islamabad without reaching an agreement, communication between Iran and the US persists, according to sources from the Associated Press.
In response to the blockade, former President Trump indicated that Iran is eager to negotiate, mentioning that he received calls from relevant parties seeking a resolution. Furthermore, US Vice President JD Vance characterized Iran’s actions as “economic terrorism” due to its obstruction of transit routes through the Strait of Hormuz, asserting that the decision now lies with Tehran.
In retaliation to the US actions, Iran has issued threats concerning ports located in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
Ceasefire negotiations between the US and Iran concluded on Sunday without a consensus, leaving uncertainties regarding the situation once the current two-week truce ends on April 22.
