Trump announces U.S.-Iran talks to begin on August 3: See you tomorrow, hoping for an agreement
President of the United States Donald Trump stated that negotiations between the U.S. and Iran will take place on August 3 (Monday).
"We are currently in dialogue with Iran, and the talks will begin tomorrow. Let's wait and see what happens. I really hope we can reach an agreement," Trump told reporters. The related video has been posted on the White House's YouTube channel.
Trump also responded to questions about why the originally planned strike on Iranian territory was canceled. He said that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Iran itself had all made this request.
"That would have been a massive attack. We were fully prepared. But when allies asked for a delay, you can only respond: 'Alright, let's take another look.'” said the President of the United States.
The White House linked the request from Middle Eastern nations to cancel a series of airstrikes with the impending agreement between Washington and Tehran. According to Trump, an agreement concerning the Strait of Hormuz already exists, while agreements regarding Iran's nuclear program and denuclearization still await signing.
In addition, the U.S. President emphasized that Washington remains ready to carry out "denuclearization operations" against Iran at any time.
