Trump sends mixed signals on Iran talks and possible military action

Saudi Gazette reported that on Thursday, November 12, Trump directed Vice President JD Vance, who had been tasked with leading negotiations with Iran, to focus on domestic issues. Trump said the United States did not need a deal with Iran. Later that day, he said he would regard leaving office with Iran’s current authorities still in power as a defeat and said military action was possible, while also indicating that he saw no reason to use force. His remarks did not announce a decision to resume strikes or end diplomacy. Separately, the Saudi Foreign Ministry’s October 26 statement, published by the Saudi Press Agency, framed Saudi engagement with Iran as an effort to reduce escalation, encourage dialogue and diplomatic solutions, and support Qatari and Pakistani mediation toward an agreement serving regional and international security and peace.
