Macron had indicated Monday that the U.S. proposed a meeting with Iranian officials. He added that a U.S.-brokered ceasefire would be “a very good thing.”
Trump’s statements come amid increasing speculation about potential direct U.S. military engagement in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. The situation remains fluid, with conflicting signals emerging from Washington.
