Trump: Iran ‘Totally Agreed’ to Give Up Nuclear Ambitions — Deal ‘Very Close,’ Says He ‘Would Go’ to Pakistan to Seal It
Breitbart ^ | 16 Apr 2026 | Joshua Klein

“We’re very close to making a deal with Iran,” Trump said, adding that negotiators may meet again “over the weekend.”

Pakistan, which has been mediating between the two sides, is expected to host the next round of talks.

Trump said he would consider traveling there if an agreement is reached.

“I would go to Pakistan,” Trump said. “If a deal is signed in Islamabad, I might go. They want me.”

The ceasefire between the sides, which began last Tuesday, is set to expire next week, though Trump suggested it may not need to be extended.

It’s a loss if the regime stays in place.

I hope not. I want them a lot more done than they are now with the IRGC, Basij, Quds Forces, and such gone forever.

Yes. Taking off the top three or four layers of IRGC leadership doesn’t mean the “Islamic State” has lost.

It wasn’t worth it to blow up the MAGA Coalition, just to keep the Mullahs in charge.

Agreed. I just don’t trust the crazies in either Iran or Pakistan. I think they would willingly make martyrs of their own people for the chance to take out Trump.

There is no one who could take Trump’s place right now. He is NOT expendable. Someone else needs to do the signing ceremony and he can be on a video call.

Me too. The world will not be safe until all the of the old Iranian regime is zeroed out, and assumes room temperature. Or hotter.

Nothing is certain, but giving nukes could cause an internal civil war within the IRGC. Also, the Immortal Guard would be set free to try and get rid of them.

Iran can make deals every day of the week and back out before nightfall.. Dangerous to “make deals” with them, their mindset and ethics are so different.

President Trump most assuredly understands this.

Certain countries pull out all the stops for the President...I think it's also part of what's inspired him to build a ballroom at the White House as part of his legacy...So that America can return the favor instead of putting dignitaries up in tents...

Understand. But given the ongoing war with Iran i hope Trump errs on the side of caution and stays away from Muslim countries and stays safe
