Iran says no date set yet for new round of direct talks with U.S.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei said Wednesday that no date had been set for a new round of direct negotiations between Iran and the U.S.

President Trump has voiced hope that a second round of direct talks could begin in the coming days, which he predicted would be “amazing,” and Pakistani officials say they are working to facilitate such negotiations again.

Senior officials from Pakistan, which has acted as an intermediary between Washington and Tehran, were expected in Tehran on Wednesday as part of efforts by Islamabad to keep the diplomacy going.
