Trump says ceasefire is over, but talks will continue The United States and Iran are likely to hold a fresh round of nuclear negotiations in Switzerland next week, according to a report by Axios. The expected talks come as diplomatic efforts continue despite a renewed exchange of strikes between the two sides. The development comes after US President Donald Trump said Iran had asked Washington to continue negotiations and that the US had agreed to further talks, even as he declared that the ceasefire between the two long-time adversaries was over. Earlier on Friday, US President Donald Trump said that Washington had agreed to hold further negotiations with Iran, even as he reiterated that the ceasefire between the two long-time adversaries was over. Trump said Tehran had asked the US to continue talks, and Washington had agreed to the request. However, he made it clear that the ceasefire was no longer in effect. “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!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
His remarks came after two days of renewed strikes this week raised fears of a return to a full-scale regional war. The latest escalation came just over three weeks after Washington and Tehran signed an agreement aimed at turning a months-long ceasefire into lasting peace. There have been no direct talks between Iran and the United States since last month. However, Iranian media reported that a delegation from Qatar was in Tehran as Doha sought to strengthen its role as a mediator following the latest exchange of strikes. Earlier this week, Trump also declared the ceasefire over during a NATO summit and said of Tehran, “It’s just a waste of time dealing with them." Qatar Steps Up Mediation Efforts Iran and the US have held one round of direct talks in Switzerland since signing their memorandum of understanding, along with indirect negotiations in Qatar. However, there has been no indication of diplomatic progress since then. Qatar on Friday backed continued diplomatic efforts during a call with Egypt, despite fresh tensions with Iran. Tehran said it had attacked US assets in Qatar, while Doha accused Iran of targeting one of its tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s Tasnim news agency said the Qatari delegation was in Tehran to “try to reinforce Qatar’s role as a mediator following events on Tuesday", when Doha condemned what it called an “unacceptable assault" on one of its LNG tankers.
