Trump: No rush to resume Iran talks

observador.pt (Portuguese)

US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is in no hurry and has no deadline to resume peace negotiations with Iran, claiming the US holds a "large advantage" after nearly six months of war. Trump told Al-Jazeera that Iran faces "enormous inflation" and a collapsing economy, while criticizing Iranian leaders for mistreating their people. His comments came two days after Washington announced "Operation Economic Strangulation," targeting anyone trading with Iran, adding to the naval blockade of Iranian ports. Iran and Oman met Tuesday to discuss a temporary maritime corridor in the Strait of Hormuz, including demining operations, with negotiations ongoing for a permanent route. Washington opposes parts of the deal, and Trump has threatened Oman with bombings if it obstructs US interests.
