US President Donald Trump has asked his negotiating team to pause talks with Iran until Tehran is ready to move towards a deal. The decision comes despite earlier indications that discussions between the two sides had made some progress.
Trump has said that no talks are currently taking place and that no new meetings have been scheduled. His latest position suggests that Washington wants Iran to show a greater willingness to reach an agreement before negotiations resume.
The development comes amid continued tensions between the United States and Iran, particularly over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has maintained that the waterway will remain closed until its conditions are met, while Washington has disputed Tehran’s position.
The latest move has added uncertainty to diplomatic efforts between the two countries. For now, the timing of any fresh round of US-Iran talks remains unclear.
