New Delhi [India], April 14 (ANI): Robinder Sachdev, Foreign Affairs Expert on Tuesday said that the probability of further talks between the US and Iran is dismal.
Sachdev, in a conversation with ANI, said that it also remains to be seen how the US blockade of Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz turns out.
'Point is that it seems that getting back to a full scale bombardment war will not be easy for Trump because the economy, the home economy, the world economy and despite all the battering they're doing of Iran, they're seeing that Iran is surviving. Plus in the next 10 days we will also see how effective this blockade of a blockade is. So I think there is still time in the next week or so for some developments,' he said.
He said that full scale of bombardment by the US does not seem viable for US President Donald Trump now because of the dent it leaves on the economy.
'The possibility of further talks is there but the probability is low. Yes, it seems that after Vance came back to the United States there is some communication from the Iranians and the Americans again and Trump has also been saying it that talks for a deal are still on or Vance has been saying that Iranians want to talk to us desperately,' he said.
Sachdev then said that possibly there would be some messages that would be exchanged between both the parties.
'So that indicates in the remaining days of the ceasefire which I think is another maybe 7-10 days still there is possibility of more messages being exchanged between the two parties and then talks could be perhaps held. It could be Islamabad, certainly is because a lot of groundwork, homework has been done in Islamabad or there is also mentioned that it would be Geneva,' he said.
Meanwhile, Iran's Embassy in Ghana announced that a Chinese oil tanker flying the flag of Malawi sailed through American sanctions.
'BREAKING: 'Rich Starry,' a Chinese oil tanker sanctioned for shipping Iranian oil, flying the flag of Malawi -- a country with no coastline -- just sailed through America's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The Navy, with its many 'big beautiful ships,' issued repeated warnings. Reportedly, The tanker's captain upgraded to premium to skip the ads,' it said.

'EDIT: We're being told the blockade only applies to countries the US isn't afraid of. That list used to be long. It now fits on Trump's McDonald's receipt, Delivered by DoorDash,' the Embassy said, taking a dig at Trump's video of DoorDash delivery at the Oval Office. (ANI)
