The fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel held for a second day on Wednesday, as U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that American and Iranian officials are expected to engage in talks next week—marking a possible diplomatic shift after nearly two weeks of regional conflict.
Speaking at a NATO summit, Trump said his administration had already accomplished its military objectives in Iran, insisting that U.S. strikes had “completely and fully obliterated” Tehran’s nuclear program.
“We may sign an agreement, I don’t know,” Trump told reporters. “The way I look at it, they fought, the war is done.”
Iran has not officially confirmed any upcoming negotiations, though U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said earlier this week that backchannel communications have been ongoing. A sixth round of formal U.S.-Iran talks had been scheduled in Oman but was cancelled after Israel launched its assault on Iran on 13 June.
