Multiple outlets report that US-Iran peace talks are paused after US President Donald Trump says the negotiations will be halted for about a week during Iran’s observances for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The reporting links the pause to Iran’s funeral for the Supreme Leader, indicating the timing is intended to coincide with official mourning arrangements. The articles present the information as originating from Trump’s remarks, but they do not provide further details on what the pause means for specific talks, whether any working-level meetings continue, or how the restart date is set. The coverage is consistent across sources in citing the same core elements: the existence of ongoing US-Iran talks, a reported decision by Trump to pause them, and the reason given as Iran’s funeral period for Khamenei. The articles do not include additional confirmed statements from Iranian officials within the provided excerpts.
