Trump says US-Iran talks ongoing by phone
US President Donald Trump said the United States and Iran are continuing negotiations by phone, after cancelling a planned trip to Islamabad.
Speaking to reporters in Washington, DC, Trump said the journey was too long for a deal that was not yet acceptable, adding that talks have not reached a final agreement.
According to Al Jazeera, the discussions remain centred on a potential framework involving a ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the blockade, with nuclear issues to be addressed later.
Trump reiterated that Iran “can’t have a nuclear weapon”, saying it remains the top priority in negotiations.
