Trump Backs New Talks With Iran but Warns More Strikes Could Come (The New York Times)
US President Donald Trump has expressed support for new diplomatic talks with Iran, despite ongoing tensions and military actions between the two nations. The potential for renewed negotiations comes amid reports of uncertainty over the future of the conflict, with Iran describing the US as "struggling" to end the five-month-long war (aljazeera.com).
While Trump claimed there was a "good chance" of progress in discussions, he also warned that more strikes could occur if diplomatic efforts fail. This stance contrasts with earlier reports suggesting that the US had "plenty" of ammunition, contradicting claims of shortages (globalnews.ca). Tehran had previously denied any direct talks with the US, highlighting the lack of clear communication between the two sides (thehindu.com).
The uncertainty surrounding the conflict has had economic repercussions, with global oil prices dropping below $90 per barrel as diplomatic hopes grew (punchng.com). Analysts remain cautious, noting that while talks are a positive sign, the path to resolution remains unclear.
