Reviving US-Iran diplomacy difficult despite Trump's hand of friendship'
"During a trip to the Middle East marking the end of Israel's war on Gaza, United States President Donald Trump turned to another source of strife in the region: the tensions between Tehran and Washington. In remarks to the Israeli Knesset on Monday, Trump, who took the unprecedented step of bombing Iranian nuclear facilities earlier this year amid a 12-day war between Israel and Iran, offered a hand of friendship."
"We are ready when you are, and it will be the best decision that Iran has ever made, and it's going to happen, Trump said of a possible agreement with Tehran. The hand of friendship and cooperation is open. I'm telling you, they [Iran] want to make a deal. It would be great if we could make a deal. But despite the dovish rhetoric,"
President Donald Trump offered a hand of friendship to Iran during a Middle East trip following Israel's war on Gaza, while earlier in the year he ordered strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities amid a 12-day conflict. Trump said Iran wants to make a deal and invited negotiations, but the administration continued to take a hard line. Analysts say Israeli and US attacks in June undermined diplomatic advocacy in Iran and fostered perceptions that diplomacy could be a ruse. Iranian leaders have not rushed into talks but say they will consider a reasonable, balanced, and fair US proposal. Iran rejected an Egyptian summit invitation citing US attacks and sanctions.
