Trump nixes Iran talks as stalemate persists
On Truth Social, the president wrote that there “are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled” with Iran.
President Donald Trump has officially ended talks with Iran, according to his social media platform Truth Social. A White House spokesperson confirmed that there are no ongoing or scheduled discussions with Iran, despite previous assertions by Jared Kushner in a Fox News interview. The announcement comes just a day after Kushner suggested active conversations with various Iranian government entities.
Iran has expressed skepticism about the level of these talks. The US president is reportedly annoyed that a deal to replace the expired ceasefire agreement with Iran has not been reached. Instead, Trump is employing pressure tactics to force the US out of the conflict. One US official revealed Trump's desire to continue the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, believing it would inflict significant pain on Iran and potentially lead to capitulation.
The White House suggested that these remarks align with Trump's comments on Monday in the Oval Office.
