Trump indicates readiness for dialogue with Iran
In the heated confrontation between Iran and Israel, it seems Tehran is open to dialogues, as suggested by U.S. President Donald Trump. During a chat at the G7 summit in Canada, Trump said Iran has shown interest in talks but wished they had initiated earlier. "They gotta talk, but it's gonna hurt for both sides," Trump emphasized. He also added, "Iran ain't winning this fight. They better start talking before it's too late."
When queried about potential U.S. military involvement in the conflict, Trump demurred, "Nah, don't wanna get into that."
Israel has been launching attacks on Iranian facilities for a while now, targeting nuclear sites, key military personnel, scientific minds, defense posts, urban locales, and energy resources. The primary objective? To prevent the Islamic Republic from covertly manufacturing nuclear weapons. And once again, Iran has responded with counterattacks on Israel.
In the past, the Trump administration had attempted to control Iran's nuclear program by engaging in negotiations. Mediated by the Gulf state of Oman, there were formal chats between reps from Washington and Tehran. However, another round of talks was initially postponed after the military skirmish between Israel and Iran.
Now, according to a Wall Street Journal report, Iran is ready to step back into the negotiating arena. They've allegedly informed mediators from Arab nations that they'd be open to discussing their nuclear program—on the condition that the U.S. stays out of any attacks. Furthermore, Iran reportedly reached out to the Israeli government, urging them to tone down the level of violence.
With tensions running high and regional dynamics and external players like the U.S. playing significant roles, a direct dialog engulfed by strategic maneuvers seems imminent. Iran is determined to safeguard its nuclear program, which is a bone of contention with Israel and the U.S. Israel, on the other hand, is focused on curtailing Iranian military might and regional influence. The U.S. is considering returning to the negotiating table with Iran, hoping to use diplomacy to create tranquility in the region. However, a nuclear deal still seems remote due to the impasse over Iran's continued enrichment activities. [Sources: 1]
