On April 14, Pakistani sources told Xinhua reporters that it was still unclear whether the next round of talks between the United States and Iran would take place in Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital, on April 14.

Earlier, Reuters reported, citing four sources, that the U.S. and Iranian delegations would return to Islamabad later this week for negotiations. It then updated the report, quoting an official from the Iranian Embassy in Pakistan, saying that the two delegations might hold talks as early as later this week or at the beginning of next week. The report said that the Iranian delegation has kept time reserved for the 17th to the 19th.

Some Pakistani media reported earlier on the same day that the U.S.-Iran negotiations would restart in Islamabad on the 16th. U.S. media also reported the same, saying that if the U.S. and Iran continue the negotiations, locations such as Geneva, Switzerland, are also being considered for the talks.

The U.S. and Iranian delegations held talks in Islamabad on the 11th, which concluded on the morning of the 12th, and the two sides reached no agreement.
