BlockBeats News, April 20. According to reports from the Associated Press and other media, since Sunday, Pakistan has intensified its diplomatic contacts aimed at bringing the United States and Iran to the negotiating table "as early as Tuesday." Earlier, despite Iran's dissatisfaction with the U.S. maintaining a naval blockade, Iran once again closed the Strait of Hormuz. However, Trump stated that he remained optimistic about reaching an agreement. Trump also mentioned that U.S. representatives would travel to Islamabad today for talks.Some analysts have expressed their belief that this week the two sides are likely to engage in some form of negotiations again. It could happen as soon as tomorrow, but they are not too hopeful about it. This is especially true if they expect to reach a comprehensive peace agreement or if the Strait of Hormuz is expected to reopen significantly. Regarding the latter, Iran is acutely aware that control of the strait is their most critical leverage at hand. Therefore, he does not believe Iran will give that up.Of course, they may relax the regulations on which ships and how many ships can pass through, but a full reopening is not expected. Just recently, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that there are currently no plans for a second round of negotiations with the United States. (FX168)
