Second Round of Iran-U.S. Talks Scheduled for April 27, NDTV Reports

An Iranian diplomat said Iran and U.S. delegations may hold a second round of talks in the coming days, while Tehran urged President Trump to soften threatening rhetoric to bolster domestic support for negotiations.

Fact Check
The claim has two parts. First, the April 27 scheduling: the direct evidence available in this run is secondary, especially Odaily's '消息人士：伊朗-美国第二轮谈判定于 4 月 27 日举行', which attributes the date to NDTV. AP's 'Diplomats try to arrange more US-Iran talks during first full day of American blockade' supports that a second round of U.S.-Iran talks was being arranged, making the general claim plausible, but it does not verify the exact April 27 date in the fetched text. Reuters could not be validated from the fetched page content. Second, the Polymarket 52% figure: Odaily's 'Polymarket 上“ 4 月 30 日前美伊举行外交会晤”概率目前为 52%，短时上涨 6%' directly states the 52% figure, but I did not retrieve the exact Polymarket market page or snapshot confirming that number from Polymarket itself. Polymarket's 'World Events' page only provides general confirmation that such geopolitical markets exist. Overall, the claim is plausible and partially corroborated, but the most important specifics rely on secondary reports rather than a clearly validated primary source in this run.

Summary

An Iranian diplomat said Iran and the United States may hold a second round of talks in the coming days, adding a more tentative timeline to earlier reporting that cited April 27 for the next meeting. The diplomat also said Iran asked President Trump to reduce threatening rhetoric, arguing that a softer U.S. stance could strengthen domestic backing inside Iran for continued negotiations. Earlier, NDTV had cited sources saying a second round of talks was scheduled for April 27, while Polymarket priced a 52% chance of an official face-to-face U.S.-Iran meeting by April 30. The latest report does not provide further details on the venue, agenda, or participants.
