[Regnum] A new round of talks between Iran and the United States could take place in Geneva or Islamabad. This was reported on April 13 by the Associated Press (AP).
Sure, but unless Iran is ready to permanently give up its uranium and nuclear bomb program, the talks will go nowhere.
According to the agency's sources, the parties are discussing the possibility of holding a second meeting in the Pakistani capital, where the first round of talks took place. Furthermore, US administration officials are citing Geneva as another possible venue for a meeting between US and Iranian representatives.

It is noted that the time and place of the Iranian-American talks have not yet been determined, but there is a possibility that it could take place as early as April 16.

As US Vice President J.D. Vance stated earlier, the White House expects Iran to fully open the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, otherwise it would fundamentally change the course of negotiations between Washington and Tehran. He did not rule out new talks with Iran, but emphasized that the initiative on this issue must come from Tehran.

Vance previously stated that the goals of the US military operation against Iran had been achieved and that the conflict could be wound down. He added that he would prefer to end the military conflict through successful negotiations.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran and the United States made some progress during talks in Islamabad, but failed to reach an agreement because the American side kept changing its demands.

1 I thought one principal goal of current US military action against the IRI is to have the IRI drop its effort to make nuclear weapons. That has not happened!

2 They’ll have to dig out from inside those mountains if they want to continue the work, Glurong Choth2372. And grow more nuclear scientists to replace all those Israel assassinated above ground or dead alongside their centrifuges. Just because their current, powerless negotiators have not said the magic words rejecting the project dies not mean that back home anyone is currently doing the work.

4 One of Iran's points since the beginning of the war was for the US to pay reparations. That ain't gonna happen. I thought one of the US proposals was off the wall - splitting the toll to transit the Strait with Iran 50/50. Gotta hope that was scuttlebutt.
