President Donald Trump said the United States and Iranian officials will be meeting soon, returning to diplomacy after the U.S. bombed Iran's nuclear sites and the country retaliated.
“We have scheduled Iran talks," Trump said during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, adding, "They want to talk.”
Trump declined to say when the talks would occur, but his Middle East Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said it would happen “very quickly, in the next week or so.”
Trump announced June 21 that the U.S. military had bombed three Iranian nuclear sites, joining Israel's war with Iran, which retaliated by launching missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar. Tensions have cooled since then. Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on June 23.
