In a move that could have far-reaching implications for regional stability, US President Joe Biden has hinted at the possibility of holding a second round of talks in Pakistan, amidst the ongoing naval blockade of Iranian ports. The blockade, which has been in place since January, has raised tensions in the Middle East, with Iran accusing the US and its allies of economic warfare. The talks, which were initially held in Doha, Qatar, in December, aimed to revive the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear deal between Iran and world powers. With the US and Iran seemingly at an impasse, a second round of negotiations could be a crucial step towards de-escalating the situation and finding a diplomatic solution.
US president says second round of talks could be held in Pakistan as naval blockade of Iranian ports continues.
