Sources: Trump attempted to reach an Iran nuclear deal before Israel's actions

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, a source said that Trump and his senior foreign policy advisors discussed how to reach an Iran nuclear agreement without escalating the situation at Camp David last Sunday and Monday. The Iran issue is one of several foreign policy topics and meetings held during the U.S. personnel withdrawal. Government officials seem determined to reach an agreement through diplomatic means before any Israeli airstrikes.

Just after 5 PM U.S. time on Thursday, Trump stated on Truth Social: "We remain committed to resolving the Iran nuclear issue through diplomatic means! My entire administration has been instructed to negotiate with Iran. They could be a great nation, but they must first completely abandon their hopes of acquiring nuclear weapons. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" As of Thursday morning, U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Affairs Wittekov was still expected to travel to Oman for the sixth round of negotiations with Iran, although U.S. officials were skeptical about whether the talks could continue following the Israeli attacks.
