Iran agrees to a ceasefire, the State Department says
The US will keep both Israel and Iran in an agreed ceasefire, a State Department spokesperson said
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump said that if US and Iranian officials meet soon, they will return to diplomacy after the US bombs Iran’s nuclear land and the nation retaliates.
“We are planning to talks with Iran,” Trump added during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “they want to talk.”
Trump refused to say when talks would occur, but his Middle East Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said it would happen “very quickly next week or so.”
On June 21, Trump announced that US troops bombed three nuclear sites with Iran, joined Israeli war with Iran, and retaliated by launching missiles at US military bases in Qatar. Since then, tension has cooled down. Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on June 23rd.
“They want to solve something,” Trump mentioned Iran on July 7th. “They are now very different from two weeks ago.”
Before the US bombing in Iran, the Trump administration was engaged in negotiations with Iranian officials about limiting the country’s nuclear program.
