US and Iran Diplomacy Stalls as Trump Signals Decision

In October 2026, statements from the United States, Iran and other governments addressed the stalled diplomacy between Washington and Tehran. Trump said a decision on Iran was coming and that a war would end soon. Medvedev called US attempts to instruct Iran unserious and said Iran lives a normal, full life despite the war. The US State Department said two Iranian UN delegation members were kicked out of the country, and Iraq's prime minister said Iraq won US permission to resume flights to Iran. China said Iran has a legitimate right to a civilian nuclear program.
