Trump Announces New Iran Talks After Halting Military Action
US President Donald Trump announced that new negotiations with Iran will begin on Monday, after deciding to cancel planned military strikes. The decision comes amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, with the conflict entering its sixth month. Trump stated that the talks would address key issues, including the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global energy supplies, and the broader goal of denuclearization.
According to reports, Trump had previously prepared what he described as "the biggest attack since World War II" against Iran. However, he decided to hold off after receiving appeals from Gulf allies. These leaders reportedly urged the US to pursue diplomacy instead of military action. Trump emphasized that the delay was intended to allow more time for negotiations.
The White House confirmed that the talks would focus on resolving the impasse over Iran’s nuclear program and regional security. While Iran has denied requesting the US to halt the planned strikes, it has continued to engage in mediation efforts. The situation remains fluid, with both sides seeking a resolution to the escalating conflict. (dailystar.co.uk)
