Despite Iran's threats to suspend negotiations following Israel's military actions in Lebanon, Trump asserted that negotiations are ongoing and emphasized the urgency of preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. He described a productive call with both parties, resulting in commitments to halt hostilities. However, tensions escalated over the weekend with exchanges of fire, including Iran downing a U.S. drone and missile attacks targeting U.S. bases.
