Donald Trump announced that negotiations with Iran will begin on Monday, following a last-minute halt to a planned military strike. The US President had previously revealed he stopped an attack on Iran contingent on reaching a deal with Tehran. Trump stated the decision was made with the hope of a swift agreement, though he offered no details on the potential terms. He asserted the US is “ready” to act should negotiations falter, signaling continued pressure on the Iranian government. The announcement follows escalating tensions in the Middle East, fueled by attacks on oil tankers and the downing of a US drone. This move suggests a potential shift toward diplomacy, though the situation remains volatile. The White House has yet to provide further specifics regarding the scope or agenda of the upcoming talks.
