Trump makes two major statements again, not simple! On the 27th, Trump said his position on the Iran issue "has some differences" with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, "but overall is very close." Trump also stated on the 27th that he has enough patience and time to reach an agreement with Iran; however, if a new ceasefire agreement is not reached, the United States will resume military strikes against Iran.
Trump issued a tough statement: "It's Iran that is begging the U.S. for negotiations, so Iran is the one in the greatest hurry, not the United States." However, Iran's side presents a different account—according to Iran's Foreign Ministry, it was the U.S. that conveyed a request for talks through intermediaries, but Iran rejected it. Subsequently, U.S.-Iran communication resumed through the special dialogue mode of passing demands via intermediaries. In fact, who initiated the ceasefire and requested negotiations is crystal clear to countries around the world.
The ceasefire order was suddenly issued by Trump, while Iran merely passively stopped retaliating. Nevertheless, Iran is unwilling to actively escalate the conflict or completely break with the United States. And if the U.S. and Iran are truly seeking reconciliation and no longer want to fight, then Israel would be the first to be most eager. This is precisely the fundamental reason why Netanyahu has visited the U.S. again to hold talks and consultations with Trump. The Middle East region involves complex and conflicting interests among Israel, Sunni-majority countries like Saudi Arabia, the United States, Iran, and others.
