U.S. President Donald Trump indicated that Iran is preparing to make an offer aimed at addressing U.S. demands, with peace talks expected to resume in Pakistan. In a phone interview with Reuters, Trump stated, “They’re making an offer and we’ll have to see,” although he admitted he was unaware of the specifics of the proposal.
The discussions will involve U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who are scheduled to travel to Islamabad to engage with an Iranian delegation. Trump's conditions for any agreement include Iran's cessation of enriched uranium production and the assurance of unimpeded oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump also expressed concern regarding the current leadership in Iran, suggesting that it may be fragmented. When asked about the identity of the negotiators from Iran's side, he chose not to disclose specific names, stating he preferred to keep that information private. Reports indicated that Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi was expected to arrive in Islamabad to discuss proposals aimed at revitalizing negotiations with the U.S.
The president reiterated that the U.S. military would maintain a blockade of Iranian ports until a satisfactory agreement is reached. When asked what conditions would lead to the lifting of the blockade, Trump noted that he would need to evaluate Iran's offer before responding.
