US President Donald Trump said that ongoing talks with Iran are now being conducted by phone.

Trump told reporters at the White House that we’re having talks with them now, and we’re not flying anymore with 18-hour flights every time we want to see a piece of paper. We’re doing it telephonically.

Notably, Iran and the United States held talks in Islamabad on April 11 but could not reach any agreement to end the ongoing war that started on February 28. These talks came after Pakistan helped arrange a two-week ceasefire on April 8, which was later extended by Donald Trump.

He also canceled a planned visit to Islamabad by special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Trump said any deal with Iran would only be possible if Iran completely gives up its nuclear weapons ambitions.
