Trump says he’ll work on ‘peace’ with Iran after Gaza breakthrough
President Donald Trump informed reporters Thursday that he now plans to begin “peace” talks with Iran, just hours after his administration successfully brokered the first phase of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
Trump held a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Thursday, more than a week into the government shutdown paralyzing Capitol Hill.
At the top of his remarks, Trump claimed his breakthrough on Gaza was ushering in “peace in the Middle East.”
The president claimed that other Middle Eastern countries have already begun reaching out to the United States with ideas about the Gaza cleanup effort. He suggested that his airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities earlier this year helped motivate the country to join the aforementioned group of Arab nations.
“Iran wants to work on peace now, they’ve informed us,” Trump stated. “They’ve acknowledged that they are totally in favor of this deal. They think it’s a great thing, so we appreciate that, and we’ll work with Iran.”
