He said, \u201cWe are grateful for the job Pakistan is doing,\u201d adding, \u201cI might go\u201d for the Islamabad talks as efforts continue to push both sides toward an agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> He also voiced confidence that a deal with Iran could be reached soon, but stressed that any agreement would require Iran to make concessions, particularly regarding its nuclear programme. Trump reiterated that Tehran \u201ccannot have nuclear weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The US president further claimed that American naval forces have effectively established control in the region, including the Strait of Hormuz, where a strong blockade is reportedly in place.He also commented on other global conflicts, urging Russia and Ukraine to end hostilities and move toward peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Trump rejected any suggestion that Iran should be allowed to possess nuclear weapons, reinforcing Washington\u2019s long-standing position on the issue.The report also notes that Trump announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon following diplomatic talks in Washington. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said high-level delegations from both sides had met recently, marking what he described as a rare formal engagement after decades of tension.He also introduced what he called a \u201cpeace team\u201d to oversee diplomatic efforts, which includes Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Caine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump has said that he may travel to Islamabad if a potential agreement with Iran is signed there, highlighting the growing role of Pakistan in ongoing&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3232,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[100,165,35,254,1423],"class_list":["post-3231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-donald-trump","tag-middle-east-tensions","tag-pakistan","tag-united-states","tag-war-against-iran"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
