Two venues are being considered for new talks between the US and Iran on Thursday.

After failed talks in Islamabad, a fresh round of negotiations between the US and Iran may be place later this week, before the two-week ceasefire between the two warring nations ends. According to US media sources, President Donald Trump has demonstrated a willingness to resume in-person conversations soon if he believes Tehran is ready to bow to his demands.

Washington and Tehran are mulling additional in-person negotiations in an attempt to negotiate an agreement aimed at ending their six-week conflict before the ceasefire expires on April 21, Associated Press reported, citing sources. 

Three sources informed the American agency that conversations were still underway about a fresh round of talks, while a diplomat from one of the mediation countries went further to claim Tehran and Washington have agreed to it.

It's unclear if the same level of delegation would be required to attend, the diplomat and US officials said. According to the article, Islamabad and Geneva are two of the prospective places being discussed for the latest round of negotiations. A US official said the site and timing had not been confirmed, but the talks may happen Thursday. 

This came after Trump told reporters earlier on Monday that "we've been called by the other side" and "they want to strike a deal." US Vice President JD Vance also stated Iran had gone in the direction of the US during the peace talks in Islamabad to end the war, and it was for Tehran to make the next move on bringing the discussions further.

"I wouldn't just say that things went wrong. I also think things went right. We made a lot of progress," Vance told.  "They moved in our direction, which is why I think we would say that we had some good signs, but they didn't move far enough," said the US vice president, who led the delegation comprising Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, for the talks with the Iranian delegation.

The United States and Iran finished 21 hours of face-to-face discussions in Islamabad on Sunday without reaching a deal, leaving the fate of the fragile, two-week ceasefire still unclear. The US group, led by Vance, and the Iranian team, led by parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, had discussed how to progress a ceasefire already imperiled by fundamental disputes and Israel's continuous attacks against the Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Among the myriad of topics at risk was the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial transit point for global energy supplies that Iran has effectively shut but the US. has sworn to unblock, as well as Iran's nuclear programme and international sanctions on Tehran.

There was a strong hope in the middle of the talks that there would be a breakthrough and the two sides would reach an agreement. However, things changed within no time," a Pakistani government source told.
