Donald Trump has reached out to Iran with a letter expressing a desire to negotiate a new deal focused on halting its nuclear weapons development. This follows his withdrawal from the previous agreement in 2018 and Iran's subsequent increase in uranium stockpiles. The letter was directed at Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who is against negotiations as long as sanctions are in place. The U.S. is also engaging with Russia, which is being advised to mediate on nuclear discussions while steering clear of broader issues, like Iran's missile program and regional influence.
