Trump Seeks to Gauge Iran's Seriousness in Returning to Talks, Says U.S. Media Reports

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly seeking to determine how serious Iran is about returning to diplomatic negotiations, according to American media outlets.

The reports come amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and increasing international pressure to revive stalled talks over Iran’s nuclear program and regional activities. Trump, who has remained vocal on foreign policy matters, is said to be monitoring Iran’s recent moves closely.

Sources cited in the media suggest that Trump believes a potential opening for dialogue may exist but insists on clear signals from Tehran about its willingness to engage constructively. “He wants to see if the Iranians are genuinely prepared to talk, not just playing for time,” one source familiar with the matter was quoted as saying.

Iranian officials have yet to respond publicly to the reports. Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues its efforts, alongside European allies, to prevent further escalation and restore diplomatic channels with Tehran.

The developments come as global leaders weigh the risks of further confrontation between Iran and Israel and the broader implications for regional and international security.
