Trump seeks exit from Iran war as Tehran sets conditions for talks

In early August 2026, the Trump administration is reportedly looking for a way to end the war with Iran without necessarily securing a nuclear deal. According to multiple reports, President Trump was willing to walk away from the conflict even without a formal agreement, but Tehran has raised demands that complicate an exit. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that talks with the US cannot resume until American violations of the interim deal are addressed, while also stating that the path to peace remains open.
