Trump Announces Iran Talks Monday After Halting Strikes

On Sunday, while on Air Force One, President Donald Trump announced that talks with Iran will kick off on Monday. This decision comes after he opted not to initiate further attacks against the country, aiming instead for a potential agreement. Trump explained, "They clearly don’t want any attacks. They were aware of the attack's scale as it developed." He added, "We’re entering negotiations, starting tomorrow afternoon," but didn’t provide details about where or who would be involved. Both Iran and U.S. allies, like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, had urged for a halt in strikes, believing a deal could be on the horizon. Trump also mentioned, "A deal regarding the Strait of Hormuz will lead to discussions about Iran's nuclear status." This news comes amidst rising tensions over nuclear issues and regional dynamics.
