> President Donald Trump said the United States is taking a “low-key” approach to talks with Iran in a Sunday interview. He pointed to Washington’s economic pressure campaign as a central instrument while strikes remain paused. Iran has repeatedly said it will not hold direct discussions with the United States until Washington honors commitments from an interim agreement signed in June. At the same time, Tehran has been negotiating with Oman over a plan involving the Strait of Hormuz. The approach reflects Trump’s stated preference to wait things out.
