The United States is expanding its diplomatic outreach as talks with Iran appear to have stalled, with officials seeking broader engagement beyond traditional channels. Multiple reports say the Trump administration is reaching out to a wider range of countries amid concerns over Iran’s posture and the lack of progress in negotiations.

According to the articles, the effort involves drawing in less expected European partners as part of a wider strategy to sustain pressure and explore pathways for renewed dialogue. The coverage frames the move as an attempt to keep communication channels open and coordinate possible next steps, even as the stalled talks reduce momentum.

While both outlets describe the same overall direction—broader diplomacy and additional European involvement—they differ mainly in emphasis. One story highlights the “unlikely” nature of some of the European players being approached, while the other focuses more directly on the expanding list of countries and the growing urgency created by the stalled negotiations. Neither report provides a full list of participants or detailed agreements, focusing instead on the shift in outreach.
