Trump Says Iran Deal Could Be Reached Within A Week…#@

The Diplomatic Context

Earlier Monday, Iran announced it had halted all communications with the United States, citing Israeli military aggression in Lebanon. Trump later dismissed these reports on social media, saying discussions were moving forward at a “rapid pace.”

Tehran has not publicly confirmed the resumption of official talks. The President emphasized the strategic importance of the shipping lane, through which a significant portion of the world’s oil exports passes.
