The media learned about Trump's order to arrange a meeting with Iranian officials

US President Donald Trump instructed his team to arrange a meeting with Iranian officials as soon as possible. CNN reported this on June 16, citing a source.

"In conversations with European leaders at the G7 summit in Canada, Trump said that negotiations were underway on a cease-fire between Israel and Iran, and made it clear that he wanted US representatives to meet with their Iranian counterparts this week," the publication said.

It is specified that the head of the White House intends to determine whether Tehran is serious about conducting diplomatic negotiations to resolve the conflict with Israel.

One step before the war: Israel attacked Iran

The targets were the country's nuclear facilities

The day before, CNN reported on Trump's skepticism about the idea of US involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran. It was clarified that Washington's involvement could lead to an expansion of the conflict beyond the current belligerents, as well as unleash a "grueling endless war without a clear end goal."
