Iran has asked to continue talks, and the U.S. agreed, Trump says

Why it matters
The escalation of conflict between the U.S. and Iran poses a significant threat to global energy stability and regional security in the Middle East.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday (July 10, 2026) said the United States had agreed to talks with Iran after Tehran asked to continue negotiations, while stressing that the June ceasefire between the two nations was over. “The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue ‘talks.’ We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!” Mr. Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
