US President Donald Trump said Washington is in “deep” negotiations with Iran for a ceasefire, using both direct and mediated channels. While expressing hope for a deal before a looming deadline, he warned of “strong” action, including targeting infrastructure, if Iran fails to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Jerusalem: US President Donald Trump told Israeli media that the United States is engaged in "deep" negotiations with Iran to secure a ceasefire, while stressing that Washington will not "leave in the middle" of the conflict.
Trump said his administration is maintaining contacts with Iran through multiple channels, led by his advisors Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Xinhua news agency reported.
According to sources briefed on the talks, communication is being conducted through two tracks: indirect contacts mediated by Pakistan, Egypt and Turkey, and direct exchanges between US envoys and Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi.
The mediating countries are seeking to help both sides agree on measures that could allow an extension of the US-imposed deadline, the sources said, adding that recent phone calls between the parties have not yielded significant progress.
