President Donald Trump announced on Friday that the United States had agreed to talks with Iran after Tehran asked to continue negotiations. The announcement comes after the two nations traded strikes this week, with the Iranian armed forces launching attacks on U.S. military infrastructure in Gulf states on Thursday following U.S. strikes on Iran’s southern coastal and eastern provinces.
Background
The two nations reached an interim deal last month to end a four-month conflict that has throttled worldwide energy supplies. However, Trump’s inability to end the war has frustrated the president, whose Republican Party faces midterm elections later this year amid high gas prices and voter discontent.
