Trump says he may go to Islamabad if Iran war deal signed in Pakistan

President Trump told reporters on Thursday that he might visit Islamabad, Pakistan, if a deal is reached there between the U.S. and Iran. 

“I would go to Pakistan,” Trump said when asked if he would visit the country, which has played a mediating role between the U.S. and Iran, to seal the deal. 

“Pakistan has been great. They’ve been so good,” he continued. “If a deal is signed in Islamabad, I might go.” 

The U.S. is currently enforcing a blockade on all Iranian ports as the ceasefire between Washington and Tehran is set to expire next week. 

Talks to end the war between the two countries failed in Islamabad last week, but the U.S., Iran and Pakistan have remained in contact.

The Pakistani Foreign Ministry confirmed Thursday that Washington and Tehran were in touch through Pakistan to set up a second round of talks but said a date had not yet been decided on. 

“Who will come, how big the delegation will be, who will stay, and who will go is for the parties to decide,” Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said, according to Al-Jazeera. 

“As a mediator, it’s important for us to keep the talks confidential. We had the details and information of the talks entrusted to us by the negotiating parties,” he continued. 

Earlier on Thursday, Trump announced that Israel and Lebanon agreed to a 10-day ceasefire after meeting in Washington. The development could be a positive step in talks between the U.S. and Iran. 

Israel has launched a barrage of attacks on Lebanon since the beginning of the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, targeting the Iranian-backed Lebanese militia group Hezbollah. Iran and Pakistan said Lebanon was part of the initial ceasefire, but the U.S. and Israel argued it was not.
