US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he is planning to hold talks with Iran, signalling a potential diplomatic opening even as military tensions between the two sides intensify. The remarks reflect Trump’s familiar approach to foreign policy, combining overt military pressure with public signals of willingness to negotiate. By highlighting naval deployments while simultaneously expressing interest in talks, Trump appeared to be reinforcing deterrence while leaving the door open to de-escalation. Against that backdrop, Trump’s comments may be read as an effort to reduce the risk of escalation while maintaining leverage.
