US President Donald Trump has indicated that he may be open to traveling to Pakistan for potential diplomatic talks related to Iran in the coming days, signaling a possible shift in the venue for high-level engagement.

In remarks to the New York Post, Trump said: “Something could be happening over the next two days. We’re more inclined to go to Pakistan. You should stay there, really. Why should we go to some country that has nothing to do with it? The field marshal is doing a great job. He’s fantastic. He’s doing a great job — that’s why it’s more likely.”

His comments suggest that Washington is actively weighing Pakistan as a preferred location for upcoming Iran-related discussions, rather than relying on traditional diplomatic hubs. The statement also reflects that internal deliberations are ongoing as the US evaluates practical and political options for reviving engagement with Tehran.

Pakistan has often been viewed as a potential facilitator in regional diplomacy due to its strategic ties with both Western countries and key Middle Eastern players. Although Islamabad has not confirmed any formal mediation role in this case, it has previously been considered a possible channel for indirect US-Iran communication.

In recent weeks, Pakistan’s diplomatic profile has drawn increased international attention following its reported role in helping support a brief ceasefire connected to regional tensions in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz area. This has further reinforced perceptions of Islamabad as a potential bridge between competing geopolitical interests, particularly at a time when direct US-Iran dialogue remains stalled.
