President Donald Trump has called on Iran to resume negotiations amid escalating violence with Israel, warning Tehran is “not winning this war” and should act “before it’s too late.”
US President Donald Trump on Monday urged Iran to return to the negotiating table “immediately,” asserting that Tehran is bearing the brunt of the recent military escalation with Israel.
Speaking alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney during a bilateral meeting in Canada, Trump acknowledged the growing toll of the conflict, stating, “It’s painful for both parties,” but emphasized that “Iran is not winning this war, and they should talk. And they should talk immediately, before it’s too late.”
Trump reiterated strong US support for Israel, saying, “We’ve always supported Israel. We have, for a long period of time, strongly, and Israel is doing very well right now.”
When asked whether Washington would consider direct military involvement in the conflict, Trump declined to elaborate. “I don’t want to talk about that,” he said.
Tensions have spiraled since Friday, when Israeli airstrikes targeted multiple sites across Iran, including critical military and nuclear facilities. Iran responded with missile attacks on Israeli cities, intensifying the regional crisis.
Israeli authorities reported at least 24 deaths and hundreds of injuries from the Iranian missile strikes. Iranian officials said Israel’s assault killed at least 224 people and wounded more than 1,000.
The Biden administration previously sought to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, but negotiations stalled. Trump, who withdrew the US from the agreement during his first term, has insisted any new talks should address Iran’s regional behavior as well as its nuclear ambitions.
As the death toll rises and fears of wider war grow, diplomatic pressure is mounting to de-escalate the conflict—though no formal peace efforts have yet been announced.
