Trump says he sent a letter to Iran this week urging nuclear deal


 President Donald Trump said Thursday that he sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, urging his country to reach a nuclear deal with the US, telling Fox Business in an interview that he believes he can negotiate an agreement “that would be just as good as if you won militarily.”

During his first term in office, Trump withdrew from the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran and ordered a US-led strike with Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani, drawing the ire of Tehran.

The president has previously said he wants to enter talks for a new deal with Iran, but the message from Iran has been mixed, with Khamenei saying last month that talks with the United States were “not smart.”

Earlier this week, during a meeting with US officials in Saudi Arabia, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Russia has offered to participate in nuclear talks between the US and Iran.

Zelenskyy in Saudi Arabia as U.S. voices hope for Ukraine peace talks

  Zelenskyy in Saudi Arabia as U.S. voices hope for Ukraine peace talks President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Saudi Arabia on Monday to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, a day before talks between Ukrainian and U.S. officials that Washington hopes will deliver substantial progress towards ending Ukraine's war with Russia. The United States, once Ukraine's main ally, has upended its policy on the conflict in its stated pursuit of a rapid end to the fighting, engaging directly with Moscow while stopping military assistance and intelligence sharing for Ukraine, which Russian troops invaded at scale in 2022. Grappling with the new approach in the White House, Ukraine has pushed for "pragmatic" relations after a disastrous Oval Office encounter between Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump descended into acrimony last month. Zelenskyy is expected later on Monday to meet the Saudi crown prince, whose country has played a mediating role since Russia's invasion, i...

  Aftershocks rattle Mandalay as rescuers search for survivors in Myanmar quake Residents scrambled desperately through collapsed buildings Sunday searching for survivors as aftershocks rattled the devastated city of Mandalay, two days after a massive earthquake killed more than 1,600 people in Myanmar and at least 11 in neighbouring Thailand. The initial 7.7-magnitude quake struck near the central Myanmar city of Mandalay early Friday afternoon, followed minutes later by a 6.7-magnitude aftershock. The tremors collapsed buildings, downed bridges and buckled roads, with mass destruction seen in the city of more than 1.7 million people. As dawn broke Sunday, tea shop owner Win Lwin picked his way through the remains of a collapsed restaurant on a main road in his neighbourhood, tossing bricks aside one by one. "About seven people died here" when the quake struck Friday, he told AFP. "I'm looking for more bodies but I know there cannot be any survivors. "We don...

  South Korea hopes to use break in weather to contain deadly wildfires Light rain offered some relief to South Korean authorities tackling the country's worst wildfires on record, with exhausted firefighters making another push on Friday to contain blazes stretching 70 km. At least 28 people have died and more than 45,000 hectares of largely forest land in the country's southeast have been charred or are burning, as strong winds have driven blazes from central Uiseong county to coastal regions over the past week. "Conditions are very good, and we have a chance, so we're deploying all available resources to try to contain the main fires today," Korea Forest Service Minister Lim Sang-seop told a media briefing. Uiseong reported fires had been put out in 95% of the area as of early Friday, and flames in 85% of the neighboring Andong city, which is home to UNESCO World Heritage sites, have been doused, according to the Korea Forest Service. Yeongdeok county on the ea...
