US President Donald Trump has dismissed media reports claiming that talks with Iran have stalled, asserting that discussions are ongoing and have occurred daily. In a post on Truth Social, Trump emphasized the need for Iran to finalize a deal, stating, 'It’s time... for you to make a Deal.' This comes amid contrasting reports from Iran, where officials claim that indirect negotiations have paused due to Israeli military actions in Lebanon. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei highlighted that a ceasefire in Lebanon is a prerequisite for broader negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program. Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, criticized the US for not adhering to commitments, linking the US military presence to ongoing hostilities. The situation is further complicated by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime route, with Iran warning of potential shipping restrictions. Despite the tensions, Trump's remarks suggest a preference for diplomatic solutions over military escalation, as the US seeks to navigate a complex geopolitical landscape.
