Donald Trump may take part in upcoming peace talks with Iran, scheduled to be held in Islamabad this week. According to a Reuters report, he could join the discussions either in person or virtually if a final agreement is reached.

Sources from Pakistan said preparations are complete and talks are expected to begin on Wednesday. The development comes as the two-week ceasefire between United States and Iran is set to expire the same day, with Trump indicating that an extension is unlikely.

There were earlier concerns that Iran might skip the talks after the US seized an Iranian-flagged ship near the Strait of Hormuz. However, a senior Iranian official has now said that Tehran is “positively reviewing” participation, though no final decision has been made yet.

Both sides have shown interest in moving forward, but key differences remain. Trump is seeking an agreement that would prevent further increases in global oil prices and reduce risks to financial markets. He has also made it clear that Iran must not develop nuclear weapons.

On the other hand, Iran is aiming to use its strategic position over the Strait of Hormuz to negotiate relief from economic sanctions. Tehran also wants to avoid a new conflict while continuing its nuclear program without major restrictions.

Tensions have remained high, with Trump warning that the US could target critical infrastructure in Iran if no deal is reached. In response, Iran has stated that it would retaliate by striking power and water facilities in Gulf countries if attacked.

Meanwhile, Pakistan is playing a key role as a mediator and host. Around 20,000 security personnel have been deployed in Islamabad to ensure safety during the talks. Reports also suggest that US Vice President JD Vance will arrive in Pakistan to participate in the discussions.

The situation remains uncertain, but all eyes are now on whether both countries will come to the table and reach a breakthrough agreement.
