-- US-Iran talks could resume within 36 to 72 hours, with President Donald Trump saying a breakthrough is possible, the New York Post reported Wednesday.
Trump, responding to the New York Post in a text message, said, "It's possible," when asked about imminent talks.
Sources from Islamabad also pointed to a 36-72 hour window for progress, the report said.
The update follows Trump's decision on Tuesday to prolong the ceasefire, saying it would stay in place until Iran delivers a "unified proposal" to move talks forward.
Diplomatic engagement with Tehran has accelerated, with the timeline reflecting ongoing back-channel efforts to restart negotiations between Washington and Iran, the Post added, citing a Pakistani source.
The source said that the ceasefire remains intact despite rising rhetoric, noting neither side has escalated militarily, signaling a degree of restraint from both parties.
The source said Pakistan continues to serve as a central intermediary in facilitating dialogue, according to the report.
The White House and Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to' requests for comments.
