US President Donald Trump has announced that fresh negotiations with Iran are set to begin on Monday, signalling a renewed diplomatic push after deciding against launching military strikes on the Islamic Republic.
Speaking as the conflict entered its sixth month, Trump said he opted to postpone military action in favour of giving diplomacy another opportunity to secure a deal aimed at ending the war and easing regional tensions.
The planned talks mark the latest attempt to revive dialogue between Washington and Tehran following months of escalating hostilities that have fuelled fears of a wider conflict across the Middle East.
While details of the negotiations have not been disclosed, Trump’s decision to prioritise diplomacy over military intervention represents a significant shift at a time when international concern over the prolonged conflict continues to grow.
The renewed engagement is expected to focus on ending hostilities, addressing security concerns, and exploring a framework that could reduce tensions between the two long-time adversaries.
The announcement comes amid increasing calls from the international community for a peaceful resolution to the crisis, with hopes that the latest round of negotiations could pave the way for a broader ceasefire and lasting stability in the region.
