“Washington and Tehran have both expressed readiness to resume hostilities as Pakistan peace talks remain in limbo after Iran pulled out of the second …”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results mention Pakistan's role in facilitating talks and the failure of talks, and Wikipedia details past talks (April 2026). However, none of the provided evidence explicitly states that *both* Washington and Tehran have *currently* expressed readiness to resume hostilities *while* Pakistan peace talks are stalled after Iran's withdrawal from a *second* round of talks. The evidence is suggestive of ongoing tension but lacks the specific confluence of events described.

SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results provided for this claim are entirely about breakfast foods and do not mention US/Iran peace talks or social media posts by President Trump regarding such talks. The Wikipedia results mention negotiations but do not confirm the specific sequence of 'nearing a deal' followed by Trump posting about it. Therefore, the claim cannot be corroborated by the evidence provided.
