US President Donald Trump said a fresh round of talks with Iran could be the final opportunity to reach an agreement and prevent a further escalation in US military action. Speaking from the Oval Office, he presented the negotiations as a critical moment in a crisis that has already stretched on for months.
According to the report, Trump said the discussions are expected to focus in part on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route that has become central to regional tensions. He also signaled that the talks could create a pathway for Iran to address longstanding US concerns over its nuclear programme.
The comments suggest Washington is trying to combine pressure with diplomacy, using the prospect of more strikes while leaving room for a negotiated outcome. Trump has taken a similar approach before during the conflict, but this time he indicated the stakes are higher and the window for progress may be narrowing.
Any movement in the new US-Iran talks would be closely watched for its impact on regional security, global energy flows and the future of the nuclear dispute. For now, the administration is framing the negotiations as a decisive test of whether diplomacy can reduce tensions before the situation worsens.
