Former U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on July 10, 2026, that Iran had requested to resume negotiations over its nuclear program. In a statement on his social media platform, Trump said, 'The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue 'talks.'

As of July 11, 2026, there has been no official confirmation from Iranian authorities or the U.S. State Department regarding any such request. The claim comes amid ongoing tensions over Iran's nuclear activities and stalled diplomatic efforts.
Trump's assertion could not be independently verified by news agencies. The U.S. and Iran have not held direct negotiations since the U.S. withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018.
