After a first round of talks on April 11, Tehran has yet to confirm participation in a second session expected in Islamabad.\n\nRegional tensions remain high. Israel and Lebanon have extended a fragile ceasefire by three weeks, Donald Trump said earlier in the day.\n\nAt the same time, negotiations between Washington and Tehran remain stalled. Trump said talks could resume in Pakistan within days, although no delegations are currently en route.\n\nIran has said it will restrict traffic through the Strait of Hormuz to approved vessels while U.S. naval forces maintain a blockade of its ports. The Pentagon said U.S. forces recently intercepted a vessel carrying Iranian oil in the Indian Ocean.\n\nIn Islamabad, heightened security has remained in place for several days amid expectations that talks could resume.",
