U.S.-Iran Talks to Resume Monday Afternoon, Trump Says
Published
President Donald Trump said renewed U.S.-Iran negotiations will begin Monday afternoon, with the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program at the center of the talks. Speaking aboard Air Force One, he said Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar urged Washington to cancel planned strikes because they believed an agreement was within reach. Trump said the United States remains ready to act militarily at any time if diplomacy fails. The talks follow Iran's public rejection of earlier claims that Tehran requested a strike pause, leaving the status of any Hormuz understanding disputed.

Difference in reporting
Sources factually disagree on the status of a Hormuz arrangement: InvestingLive says Trump claimed a Strait deal was already reached but notes that it remains unconfirmed; Israel Hayom and The Jerusalem Post describe a Hormuz agreement as within reach or on the table. The remaining facts are uniform: Trump said renewed U.S.-Iran negotiations will start Monday afternoon and that Washington retains the military option.
