US and Iran resume nuclear talks after cease‑fire declared over
President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that the cease‑fire between the United States and Iran was "over" while confirming that Washington had agreed to continue diplomatic negotiations. A fresh round of nuclear talks is expected next week in Switzerland, according to reports, despite renewed exchanges of strikes.
Iran’s foreign‑ministerial spokesman said Tehran had "kept its word" under the June cease‑fire agreement and stressed that respect must be mutual. Tehran denied making a new request for talks and said its foreign minister would travel to Oman to discuss the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar and Pakistan have been active mediators, with a Qatari delegation arriving in Iran for talks. The United States has reinstated sanctions on Iranian oil, citing violations of the cease‑fire, and warned it has missile forces ready should Iran threaten U.S. personnel.
The dispute centers on recent attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, accusations of retaliation, and broader concerns about regional stability and global energy supplies.
