While Donald Trump has said there will be new talks with Iran next week following the end of the strikes targeting its nuclear programme, an Iranian journalist says there’s been no official confirmation from the Iranian side that they will take part, Al Jazeera reports.

“Of course, this has happened before the war – Trump announced that they are going to have some negotiations with Iran and this actually happened,” Fateme Karimkhan told Al Jazeera from Tehran.

“But now, after the war, we cannot say for sure if Iran is willing to go for another round of negotiations directly with the US.”

Trump said on Wednesday that US and Iranian officials will talk next week. “We may sign an agreement, I don’t know,” Trump said at a Nato summit in The Hague. “The way I look at it, they fought, the war is done.”
