The United States has outlined two primary conditions for restarting negotiations with Iran in Pakistan: the complete reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring that Iran's delegation possesses full authority from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to finalize any agreements. As both sides contemplate extending the two-week ceasefire announced on April 7, President Donald Trump mentioned that talks could resume within days. The previous negotiations in Islamabad failed due to disputes over Iran's nuclear enrichment program, a significant obstacle in the discussions. Meanwhile, the US has enforced a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, aimed at restricting Iran's oil exports and applying pressure during negotiations. This blockade has raised concerns about regional stability, with Iran warning of potential retaliation against ports if its shipping is threatened. Financial markets responded positively to the possibility of renewed talks, with a rise in global stocks and a drop in oil prices. As the ceasefire deadline approaches, both diplomatic efforts and military tensions persist in the region.
