Trump Says US Will Continue Iran Talks, But Ceasefire Is Over

Thursday, July 16, 2026 · 4 sources

President Trump announced that the US will continue talks with Iran, but will not adhere to the ceasefire. The decision comes after regional mediators made de-escalation efforts over the last 48 hours to prevent the collapse of the US-Iran deal.

President Trump said on Friday that the US agreed to continue talks with Iran. However, the US will not adhere to the ceasefire anymore. Trump's post on Truth Social follows ongoing de-escalation efforts by regional mediators over the last 48 hours to prevent the total collapse of the US-Iran deal.

While Trump announced on Wednesday that the ceasefire is over and stressed he has very little faith that talks with Iran can produce a credible deal, he is allowing negotiators to engage with the Iranians. A source with knowledge said another round of negotiations between the US and Iran is expected next week, possibly in Switzerland.

Trump wrote on Truth Social, 'The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue 'talks.' We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!' Qatari negotiators travelled to Iran on Friday, in coordination with the US, to meet with Iranian officials in an effort to de-escalate the situation and create the conditions for negotiations to resume, according to a diplomat with knowledge of the visit.
