There are many speculations on social media platforms and some media reports on Tuesday which claim that the president of the United States (US), Donald J Trump, is going to visit Pakistan soon; some rumours suggest the visit is for ‘finalising the Islamabad accord.’
However, these are just false claims as of now, and no official report or announcement has been made in this regard.
‘Trump visit to Pakistan’
The claim has emerged during a crucial time when there are reports that both sides could engage in a second round of talks after the first one in Islamabad.
According to the sources, Iran is completely satisfied with the management and the security arrangements of the first round of US-Iran peace talks.
Sources inform that the country says the second round of these talks should be held in Pakistan as well.
However, the phase 2 of the Islamabad Peace talks has not been confirmed yet.
On social media platform X, Sajid Tarar wrote on X: “Chatter is everywhere in Washington DC that President Trump is going to Islamabad, Pakistan, himself to meet Iranian delegation to finalize the Islamabad accord”.
The response was for a post made by Ashok Swain, an Indian-born Swedish academic, stating: “Pakistan is soon going to host the 2nd round of Islamabad Talks between Iran and the US. It will give 2nd round of heartburn to the Indian media”.
US-Iran talks second phase
US Vice President JD Vance has also hinted at the second phase of talks, saying that it is now up to Tehran to decide the next step, on Tuesday.
In an interview with Fox News, he said Washington had already presented serious proposals and meaningful concessions. He added that further progress depends on how Iran responds.
Vance noted that a deal remains possible if the US concerns are addressed. This is especially over Iran’s nuclear programme.
He further added that meeting these key conditions could lead to an agreement beneficial for both sides.
Islamabad talks 2026
Before this, on April 11 and 12, Pakistan held the Islamabad Talks 2026, where Iran and the US sat together in hopes of reaching a peaceful solution in a in 21-hour-long talk.
The talks took place after Pakistan brokered a two week long ceasefire after a 40 day war between the countries.
However, after the talks concluded, JD Vance revealed the update in a short media briefing.
He added Iran chose “not to accept our terms” at the talks, adding that the US needs to see a “fundamental commitment” from Tehran not to develop nuclear weapons.
