Iran Reportedly Seeks Talks to De-escalate Israel Conflict, Trump Urges Immediate Action

President Donald Trump stated at the G7 Summit that Iranian officials have indicated a desire to de-escalate the ongoing conflict with Israel, expressing that "they'd like to talk." He emphasized that Iran should have sought negotiations earlier, noting the window for a deal had passed and urging immediate talks to prevent further escalation. Trump characterized the conflict as painful for both parties but asserted that Iran was not winning the war. He declined to comment on what would prompt U.S. involvement but reaffirmed strong support for Israel. The conflict involves Israeli airstrikes targeting Iranian military and nuclear sites, with Iran retaliating through missile and drone attacks on Israel. These developments come amid ongoing U.S. negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, which the International Atomic Energy Agency warns is nearing weaponization levels.
