US President Donald Trump stated that the Iranian government
contacted Washington approximately an hour ago with the intention of resuming
negotiations and exploring the possibility of reaching an agreement that would
help reduce the growing tension between the two countries.
During his remarks, the US president asserted that the
contact represents a sign that Tehran is willing to open a new phase of talks,
after several days marked by increased hostilities and an exchange of threats
between the two nations.
Although Trump did not reveal who participated in the
alleged contact or offer details about the content of the communication, he
indicated that his administration will evaluate the Iranian proposal and
reiterated that the United States remains willing to negotiate, provided that
any eventual agreement guarantees regional security and limits Iran's strategic
capabilities.
The president's remarks come amid heightened tensions in the
Middle East, where military operations and retaliation between Iran, the United
States, and their allies have heightened international concern about a
potential escalation of the conflict.
