Iran War: Attack Cancelled: Trump Announces New Talks with Iran
According to US President Trump, devastating attacks on Iran had been planned. However, he claims to have stopped them at the last minute. Today, there are to be new talks with the Islamic Republic.
Washington. US President Donald Trump has described new talks with Iran as "the last chance" for Tehran, stating that the discussions are taking place at the request of Iran, he said in the White House. He affirmed that various states had requested the United States to give diplomacy a final chance. "This is the last chance for them to sign a good document," he said, emphasizing his remarks with a martial threat: "I would give them every last chance before beheading them."
According to Trump's portrayal, the talks center on opening the strategic Hormuz Strait, crucial for international gas and oil trade, which should be fully open by this Tuesday. In a second phase, he said, the focus would then be on Iran's "denuclearization" - a process that would take longer, Trump clarified. The US President had announced new talks for today, stating that he was postponing the largest US military attack "since World War II" to give Iran another opportunity.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghai initially informed about bilateral negotiations between his country and Oman regarding a temporary shipping corridor in the Hormuz Strait. Trump then accused Iran of dishonesty on his Truth Social platform. At the White House, Trump reiterated that any solution involving customs fees in the Hormuz Strait was unacceptable.
