Trump tells Fox News Iran can call US if it wants to negotiate
Trump said Iran can call Washington after the United States scrapped planned talks and Tehran rejected negotiations under threats or a blockade.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump said Iran "can come to us, or they can call us" after cancelling planned negotiations in Islamabad on Saturday, citing excessive travel costs and an inadequate Iranian offer.
- Talks appeared to collapse Saturday as Tehran's top diplomat left Pakistan, following a previous round in Islamabad where Vice President JD Vance and Iranian parliamentary speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf ended discussions without agreement.
- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif that Tehran would not enter "imposed negotiations" under threats or blockade, while Trump deemed Iran's offer "not enough" to justify the 17-hour flight.
- Two US Air Force C-17s carrying security staff and equipment departed Pakistan on Sunday according to Pakistani government sources, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi traveled to Oman to discuss regional security frameworks.
- Trump reiterated that negotiators know "they cannot have a nuclear weapon, otherwise there's no reason to meet," while Iran has effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting global oil shipments and straining US-NATO relations.
