The announcement comes just weeks after the U.S. launched airstrikes on Iran’s Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities on June 22, following Israeli airstrikes on June 13. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran on June 24.
Trump also signaled a willingness to ease sanctions on Iran “at the right time,” saying he hopes for a peaceful resolution. He emphasized that Iran appears “very different now” and expressed a desire to see the country rebuild.
On Syria, Trump confirmed that the U.S. lifted sanctions to give the country a chance, following appeals from other Middle Eastern nations.
