A second round of negotiations between the U.S. and Iran is currently under discussion, though nothing has been officially scheduled yet, a White House official told CNBC on Tuesday.
The confirmation that the Trump administration is mulling further talks with Tehran followed reporting that the peace negotiations, which stalled out days earlier, could restart before a fragile two-week ceasefire is set to expire.
Officials from both countries could return to Pakistan to resume those talks, Reuters reported Tuesday earlier Tuesday morning, citing Pakistani and Iranian officials.
“The coming rounds of talks can come sometime later this week or earlier next week. But nothing is finalised as of now,” an official at the Iranian embassy in Islamabad told Reuters.
CNN and NBC News also reported that in-person negotiations could resume soon. The Iranian embassy in Islamabad did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the reporting.
