Trump Says US Will Not Engage in Iran Talks Until Meaningful Negotiations BeginPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump stated that the US has no interest in immediate talks with Iran until Tehran is ready for meaningful negotiations. He noted that Iranian officials have expressed a desire to meet but emphasized that the US will maintain its military presence and continue operations, including planned strikes near Iran's Natanz nuclear facility. Both sides have recently escalated military actions in the Middle East, with Iran launching attacks on US allies and the US conducting airstrikes on Iranian targets.
