Pakistani authorities have proposed holding a second round of talks between the United States and Iran in Islamabad in the coming days, the Associated Press reported, citing sources.
According to the agency, officials who requested anonymity said that the proposal would depend on whether the parties request a different venue for the talks.
It is also noted that the first talks, although they ended without an agreement, were part of an ongoing diplomatic process, not a one-off attempt.
On April 11, Iran and the United States held several rounds of talks in Islamabad. The Iranian delegation was led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and the American delegation by Vice President Jay D. Vance.
As later reported in Tehran and Washington, the parties failed to reach an agreement on a long-term settlement of the conflict due to a number of disagreements. It is not yet known whether a new round of consultations will be held. The United States has meanwhile announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
