US President Donald Trump today hinted at going to Pakistan himself for new diplomatic talks with iran in the coming days.
Speaking to the New York Post, Trump said: “Something could be happening over the next two days. We’re more inclined to go to Pakistan. You should stay there, really. Why should we go to some country that has nothing to do with it? The field marshal is doing a great job. He’s fantastic. He’s doing a great job — that’s why it’s more likely.”
His remarks point to a possible preference within the US administration for Pakistan as a venue for future Iran-related discussions, rather than traditional third-country locations. Trump’s comments suggest that logistical and political considerations are still being weighed as Washington explores options for restarting or advancing diplomatic engagement with Tehran.
Pakistan has previously been seen as a potential facilitator in indirect regional diplomacy due to its relationships across the Middle East and longstanding ties with both Western and regional actors. While Islamabad has not confirmed any formal role in such talks, it has at times been viewed as a possible intermediary in complicated US-Iran communication channels.
Pakistan has emerged as a key mediator after helping broker the recent two-week ceasefire linked to the Gulf war and the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Its role has drawn global attention, with Islamabad now being seen as the strongest bridge between Washington and Tehran.
