US-Iran Talks Planned After Nuclear Site Strikes

US President Donald Trump announced upcoming talks with Iran next week, following a ceasefire that ended recent hostilities between Israel and Iran. Trump claimed US airstrikes, including those on Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan, had destroyed Iran’s nuclear weapons capability, with enriched uranium now buried underground. While Trump said a formal agreement may not be necessary, he indicated the US would seek assurances from Tehran to end its nuclear ambitions. US and Israeli officials asserted the strikes set Iran’s nuclear program back by years, but US intelligence cautioned the delay could be only a few months. Iran admitted to severe damage at its nuclear sites but insisted it would not abandon its program, and its parliament has moved to end cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. The ceasefire remains in effect, with hopes that both sides will avoid renewed conflict.
