Iran nuclear talks

It was also reported that recently, coordination between the US military and the IDF has been extended, as part of preparations for the possibility of renewed fighting with Iran.

Vance said he had just spoken to Trump, who stressed that the core issue for the US is that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.

“The primary concern is that Trump will grow tired of talks and cut a deal – any deal – with last-minute concessions,” one source told CNN. 

CNN reported that the latest Iranian proposal, which Trump called "unacceptable," is pushing Trump into believing he must resume the war against the regime.

The Iranian proposal stressed the need to end the war on all fronts and to lift sanctions on Tehran, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, citing an informed source.

Explosions, US self-defense strikes, and renewed clashes near the Strait of Hormuz show how unresolved maritime leverage, Gulf vulnerability, and political deadlock could push the conflict further.

"This process, Project Freedom, will begin Monday morning, Middle East time," US President Donald Trump said in a statement published in Truth Social.

The report also mentioned that US President Donald Trump is expected to hold a situation room meeting on Iran with his top national security and foreign policy team.

Vance explained that the US discovered that the team would need to return to Tehran “and actually get approval to the terms we had set…either from the supreme leader or somebody else.”
