US President Donald Trump has announced that new negotiations with Iran will begin on Monday after he decided to cancel what he described as a “massive” military strike against the country. According to Trump, the planned military operation was ready to proceed but was postponed after requests from Iran and key US allies in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. It begins tomorrow afternoon,” Trump said, adding that he was “not looking to kill people” and preferred a peaceful solution over military action. Trump has often warned of severe action against Iran while also insisting that diplomacy remains possible. With both sides still sending mixed signals, the success of the planned negotiations remains uncertain, but they may offer the strongest opportunity yet to ease a conflict that has unsettled the region and shaken global energy markets.
