Trump: Iran initiated talks

U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview with The Atlantic magazine that Iran's new leadership has shown initiative in seeking talks with the United States. "They want to talk, and I agreed to talk, so I will communicate with them. They should have done this earlier...", he noted. Trump emphasized that "they should have gone to what was very practical and easy to do much earlier" and added that Iran "waited too long." The leader's position relates to an action taken after the start of the operation and calls for opening a dialogue.

The event became part of efforts to reduce tensions in relations between Yagoer and the United States. In response, the president stressed that widespread statements and actions are significant for the international community.

It was in this interview that he expressed willingness for further communication, emphasizing that it was Iran, not the United States, that initiated the move.
