President Donald Trump disclosed his intention to speak with Iranian officials next week, coinciding with an ongoing ceasefire between Iran and Israel that has entered its second day.

President Trump announces a meeting with Iran as tensions continue amidst a ceasefire with Israel, raising questions about nuclear negotiations.
Trump criticized a recent U.S. intelligence report released on Tuesday, which suggested that America's military strikes on Iran's nuclear sites had only delayed the country's nuclear progress by a few months. He asserted that these attacks had effectively “obliterated” Iran’s capabilities. Supporting Trump’s assertions, Secretary of State Marco Rubio provided additional details, stating that a key conversion facility necessary for creating nuclear weapons had been destroyed. Israel has also echoed these claims through an official statement.
