Trump expressed readiness to hear out proposals from Iran's representatives

US President Donald Trump stated that he would be ready to listen to proposals from Iranian representatives to resolve the conflict.

This was reported by TASS.

"By the way, we are negotiating right now," he said on Friday, July 24, at a reception of the White House Correspondents' Association. "They [the Iranian authorities] would very much like to make a deal. I don't think they are ready for it. I think the time has not yet come. But I am ready to listen to them. But they cannot be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons."

The Iranian authorities have repeatedly stated that they are not seeking to obtain nuclear weapons.

The US and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding providing for an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon. However, on the night of July 8, the US resumed large-scale strikes against Iran, accusing it of violating the terms of the agreements reached regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
