Trump says U.S. is holding talks with Iran as regional drone attacks continue

U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that Washington is having productive talks with Iran and that a deal could still be reached, while also warning that U.S. airstrikes could resume if negotiations fail. The comments came as Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Iraq reported drone attacks, underscoring how tensions in the region remain volatile despite the temporary pause in the U.S. bombing campaign. Trump said the U.S. would return to military action if diplomacy does not produce results. Iran said messages were still being exchanged through mediators and insisted it has not abandoned diplomacy, while also accusing the U.S. of escalating the conflict at sea. The situation has continued to affect energy markets, with Brent crude falling sharply after the suspension of the U.S. strikes and Trump’s remarks about talks with Tehran.
