Donald Trump<\/a> has hinted that US-Iranian peace talks could resume in Islamabad over the next two days, and complimented the work of Pakistan\u2019s army chief as mediator.<\/p>\n

The US president was speaking on Tuesday to a New York Post reporter<\/a> who had gone to Islamabad for the first round of ceasefire talks over the weekend. After an interview discussing prospects for negotiations, the reporter said the president had called her back \u201cwith an update\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days, and we\u2019re more inclined to go there,\u201d Trump said. He added that Pakistan\u2019s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, was doing a \u201cgreat job\u201d in arranging the talks.<\/p>\n

Munir is a powerful figure in Pakistan<\/a> and has good relations with Trump, who has called him his \u201cfavourite field marshal\u201d, and with Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards.<\/p>\n

The collapse of weekend negotiations prompted Trump to impose a blockade on Iranian ports. The fragile two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran still has a week to run.<\/p>\n

Those ended with JD Vance walking out on Sunday morning, claiming that Iran<\/a> had failed to make an \u201caffirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon\u201d.<\/p>\n
