Donald Trump: "Iran wants to admit it or not, we are, in fact, talking"

President Donald Trump said Monday at the White House that negotiations with Iran are happening now, even as Tehran says its meetings with Oman concerned only shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump cast the moment as Iran’s final chance to reach an agreement and avoid heavier U.S. attacks, saying expected talks would first address reopening the strait and then limiting Iran’s nuclear program. He said he postponed planned major strikes after Gulf allies, including Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, urged restraint, and at the request of unnamed Iranian officials. The standoff follows months of U.S. and Israeli strikes and repeated Trump threats that ended with pauses; critics such as Sen. Mark Kelly call the approach erratic.
