Houston, TX, August 3, 2026 —
President Donald Trump announced on Monday that talks aimed at ending the war in Iran would commence. This decision follows President Trump’s choice to postpone significant military strikes against Iran.
The move to halt anticipated strikes reportedly came after appeals from Gulf allies and at the request of Iranian officials, whose identities were not disclosed.
However, Iran’s foreign ministry issued a statement indicating that no negotiations with the United States are currently in progress. The ministry clarified that discussions are only taking place with Oman, focusing on the matter of safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
In related developments, the report noted that 17 individuals lost their lives in Israeli strikes that occurred in Gaza over the weekend.
