U.S. President Donald Trump says negotiations with Iran are set to begin on Monday after he called off a planned attack. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump said Iran and U.S. partners do not want to be attacked and that they “knew the extent of the attack” while it was forming. He said the U.S. is shifting from the threat of strikes to talks, which he described as starting Monday afternoon, without providing details on the venue or participants. Several outlets report that Trump says he held off on the strikes in response to requests from regional allies, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

Trump also links the negotiations to broader elements of the conflict, with one outlet reporting that talks would address the Strait of Hormuz, a key energy shipping route and longstanding point of tension, and that the end goal would be denuclearization. BBC reports that Iran has not publicly responded to indications that talks are imminent, and notes that Trump has previously suggested a negotiated end to the war was close, only for strikes to resume.
