The White House said a second round of U.S.-Iran negotiations is under discussion, though no formal schedule has been set, according to officials cited by CNBC.
The development follows reports that talks could resume soon, possibly in Pakistan, after earlier negotiations ended without agreement. The report said key disputes over Iran’s nuclear program continue to block progress, with both sides accusing each other of shifting positions.
Vice President JD Vance said the next step lies with Tehran, stressing that Washington has already presented its terms. Iranian officials, however, accused the U.S. of negotiating in bad faith.

Following the breakdown, President Donald Trump ordered a blockade targeting Iranian ports to pressure Tehran into reopening the Strait of Hormuz. According to the report, the ceasefire agreement was partly tied to restoring shipping through the waterway.
Despite ongoing tensions, markets showed optimism, with oil prices easing and equities rising on expectations that diplomacy could resume.
