'Iran has requested a meeting': Trump reveals surprise talks amid shaky ceasefire
WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump made a surprise announcement on Monday, June 29, claiming that Iran has requested a meeting amid the shaky ceasefire, which has been put to the test after the renewed hostilities between the two sides.
The fresh assault began after Iranian forces launched drone attacks on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, which US officials cited as the trigger for the renewed fighting.

“Highest Poll Numbers Ever. Even Higher than Election Day, November 5th. This despite the fact that, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon,” Trump wrote.
He also celebrated the falling oil and gas prices in a series of posts, arguing his Iran strategy is delivering economic benefits for Americans while reiterating that Tehran "will not have a nuclear weapon."
“Gas prices coming down fast! report any abuses at retail level,” Trump added in one of the posts he made on Monday morning.
The ceasefire deal all but crumbled on Friday as Trump confirmed that Iran shot “at least” four drones at ships trying to transit the Strait of Hormuz in what he called a “foolish violation.”
On Sunday, the US and Iran agreed to stop attacking each other once again, according to Axios' Barak Ravid.
