Trump Says US in Direct Talks With Iran, Claims War Nearing End
US president says Washington is 'hopefully toward the end' of tensions with Iran as global energy prices remain elevated, according to Al Jazeera.
US President Donald Trump has said his administration is engaged in direct talks with Iran, adding that the two countries are "hopefully toward the end" of a war, according to a report by Al Jazeera published on September 17.
The report did not specify further details of the alleged talks, including their scope, timing, or the officials involved. Al Jazeera noted that Trump's remarks come as global energy prices remain high, a factor often linked to tensions in the Middle East.
Al Jazeera's report framed the comments as raising questions over whether diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran are resuming, though it did not provide independent confirmation from Iranian officials or other sources regarding the claimed negotiations.
Neither the White House nor Iranian authorities have been quoted in the available reporting with additional comment or confirmation on the nature of any ongoing dialogue.
The report did not elaborate on the current state of hostilities referenced by Trump, nor did it specify a timeline for any potential resolution.
