The U.S. and Iran are in discussions about holding another round of face-to-face negotiations for a longer-term ceasefire, people familiar with the matter said, after talks in Islamabad led by Vice President JD Vance failed to produce a breakthrough.
The people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations, said the goal is to hold fresh talks before a two-week ceasefire announced April 7 expires next week. One idea is to return to Islamabad for a second round, though other venues have also been discussed, they said.
Vance said in an interview ?on Fox ?News's "Special Report with ?Bret Baier" on ?Monday that the U.S. had ?made a ?lot of ?progress in talks.
