Trump Iran Talks Resume in Islamabad Amid Trust Gaps
Trump pushes for renewed U.S.-Iran talks in Pakistan's capital as Iran says there's no trust in enemies and signals military buildup ahead of a ceasefire expiry.
Trump pushes for renewed talks between the United States and Iran to resume in Islamabad on Monday, signaling a renewed push for diplomacy amid rising tensions. He has warned of potential military consequences if diplomacy fails. Iran's top negotiator has said there is 'no trust' in its enemies.
A senior Iranian military official said Iran has begun rebuilding its stockpile of weapons and munitions as the two-week ceasefire nears expiration. Brig. Gen. Seyed Majid Mousavi, commander of the Revolutionary Guard's Aerospace Force, said they repaired missiles and drone launchers and were updating and refilling platforms faster than before the war. The state broadcaster aired a video showing missiles and drones in warehouses and mobile launch launches. The United States and Israel say they have degraded Iran's military capabilities over the course of the nearly six-week war.
The Islamabad talks come at a moment of heightened urgency. Trump has framed the negotiations as Iran's 'last chance' to reach an agreement, issuing stark warnings about potential military consequences if diplomacy fails. Observers note that hosting talks in Pakistan could shift the tone, but skepticism remains on both sides given a history of mistrust.
Analysts say any breakthrough will require verifiable guarantees and regional stability assurances, with focus on missiles, capabilities, and a potential ceasefire status. The coming hours and days will likely determine whether diplomats can bridge gaps or if the talks stall again.
