This meeting has the potential to be held again in Islamabad or another location, with the active role of Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in pushing the peace process. “After previously Iran and America no longer agreed on peace, suddenly Iran contacted America to discuss peace negotiations at the next face-to-face meeting. The location might be the same as before in Islamabad, or there is also the possibility of another place,” said Nico. On the other hand, US President Donald Trump emphasised that his country remains open to dialogue, even as pressure on Iran continues through a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump even stated that his side has been contacted by the “right” party to reach an agreement. This statement strengthens expectations that the diplomatic channel is still open, although the conflict has not fully subsided. “Is America losing face? Of course not. Trump proudly stated that America will always be open to further talks while continuing the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz as pressure on Iran,” he explained. This strengthening serves as a positive signal for the Asian markets, which are expected to follow suit with the global sentiment. “Certainly, this provides a fairly confirmed indication of movement for the Asian region to strengthen this morning,” he added.
