US President Donald Trump has indicated that “good news” could emerge on a second round of talks with Iran as early as Friday, according to a report by The New York Post. The development comes amid tentative diplomatic movement following an extended ceasefire, even as Tehran pushed back strongly against suggestions of internal divisions within its leadership.
Talks May Resume
Citing Pakistani sources, the New York Post reported that mediation efforts with Tehran are showing signs of progress, raising the possibility of renewed negotiations within the next 36 to 72 hours.
Responding to a query from the publication, Trump said in a text message, “It’s possible!”, signalling openness to another round of engagement. The update follows his decision to extend the current ceasefire, giving Iran additional time to present what he described as a “unified proposal”.
The proposed talks are seen as a potential step towards easing tensions, though no formal confirmation of a meeting has yet been announced.
Tehran Pushes Back
Iran has rejected claims of internal discord, with Mehdi Tabatabaei, deputy for communications at the president’s office, dismissing such assertions as “lies” and “political propaganda”.
Without naming Trump directly, Tabatabaei accused the “enemy” of spreading misinformation and said unity within Iran’s leadership remains “unprecedented and exemplary”. He also criticised what he described as breaches of promises and coercive tactics.
At the same time, he signalled that diplomacy remains an option, stating that the door to negotiations based on “fairness, dignity, and rationality” is still open.
The contrasting narratives underline the uncertainty surrounding the next phase of US-Iran engagement, even as both sides leave room for dialogue.
Trump signalled that the naval blockade remains a key source of leverage for the United States.
Just days earlier, however, he had downplayed the significance of the Strait of Hormuz, stating that it holds little importance for Washington as the US is not dependent on it for oil supplies.
