Trump revealed that the Iranian regime asked to resume peace negotiations

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, assured that the terrorist regime of Iran returned to communicate with his administration with the intention of resuming peace negotiations, after the stalemate of talks in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.

“The other party contacted us. They want to reach an agreement at all costs,” Trump said in front of the press at the White House, without confirming if there will be a new round of dialogue between the two sides.

From the Oval Office, the president insisted that the central axis of his policy in the Middle East remains to prevent Iran from accessing nuclear weapons. “I will not allow Iran to blackmail the world or to develop a nuclear program,” he

warned.

His statements come after the failure of the last negotiations, in which no progress was made on the key points of the conflict. In response, Trump ordered to take control of the Strait of Hormuz by force, a strategic route for global oil trade, and to block trade from

that key area.

“Yesterday (Sunday) 34 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz, which is by far the highest number since this senseless closure began,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social network, referring to the increase in maritime traffic in the region.

The closure of Iranian ports, which took effect on Monday at 14:00 GMT, came shortly after the break up of the dialogue in Islamabad. At that meeting, the delegations of both countries failed to agree to end the conflict or to make progress on central issues such as the Iranian nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of

Hormuz.

In this context, Trump reiterated that his government will not give in to pressure from Tehran and left open the possibility of military escalation if an agreement is not reached. “I am prepared to do what is necessary if Iran doesn't back down on its ambitions,” he said
