Iran would ‘like to talk’ about dialing down Israel conflict, Trump says at G7

President Donald Trump made a statement on Monday suggesting that Iran is interested in discussing ways to reduce tensions in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. This announcement came during a brief press appearance with Canada’s Prime Minister at the G7 conference.

When asked if there were any indications that Iran was looking to de-escalate the conflict, Trump responded by saying, “They’d like to talk, but they should have done that before.” He emphasized that Iran is not winning the war and urged them to engage in dialogue before it’s too late.

The current situation involves a series of missile attacks between Israel and Iran, initiated by Israel targeting key Iranian military figures and nuclear facilities. Trump reiterated that he had given Iran a 60-day window to negotiate a new nuclear deal, which could have potentially prevented the conflict.

Regarding potential U.S. military involvement in the conflict, Trump declined to comment, stating, “I don’t want to talk about that.” He reaffirmed the United States’ longstanding support for Israel and commended their current position in the conflict.

Recent reports from the Wall Street Journal suggest that Iran has been communicating through Arab intermediaries, expressing a willingness to return to negotiations with Israel and the U.S. under the condition that the U.S. does not participate in Israeli attacks.

As the situation continues to evolve, it is essential for all parties involved to engage in meaningful dialogue to seek a peaceful resolution. The White House has been contacted for further comments on this developing story.
