Trump indicates potential for renewed US-Iran talks and a possible agreement this week
via Egypt Today3 hours ago1 min read
President Donald Trump stated that negotiations with Iran could resume within days and potentially lead to an agreement, despite intensified US naval blockade targeting Iranian ports. Trump told ABC News that the coming days could be decisive, suggesting a deal might be achievable and downplaying the necessity of extending a ceasefire set to expire on April 21. He remarked, "I think you're going to be watching an amazing two days ahead," and added, "It could end either way, but I think a deal is preferable because then they can rebuild." This statement was reported by ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl on X. Concurrently, US naval forces have blockaded Iranian ports, reportedly turning back multiple vessels attempting to depart, following the collapse of the initial round of talks in Islamabad. The US military confirmed intercepting several Iran-linked oil tankers since the blockade began. Iranian media reported that Tehran is exploring rerouting trade through alternative ports and expanding import channels to lessen the blockade's impact.
