Trump Calls Off Strikes, ‘Talks’ to Begin Again

way2barak, Aug 4: U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that negotiations with Iran were ongoing despite Tehran’s denials and the Islamic Republic was facing a “last chance before decapitation.” Mr. Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, said he agreed to continue to pursue talks with Iran at the request of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and other countries.

Mr. Trump said he expects negotiations will focus on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and create a pathway for Iran to address the United States’ concerns about its nuclear programme. He told reporters they would likely learn about the status of the negotiations “today or tomorrow”.
