TL;DR

President Donald Trump stated that he conducted phone conversations with Iranian officials, according to a Fox News journalist. The reported contacts come amid ongoing tensions over Iran's nuclear program and potential US military action.

01 · THE DISPATCH

President Donald Trump claimed to have conducted phone conversations with Iranian officials, as reported by a Fox News journalist on Tuesday evening. The statement marks a significant development in US-Iran relations, following weeks of escalating rhetoric from both sides.

As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, Trump said he was "close to ordering a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities," and in another appearance stated he believed Iranians "want a deal" but qualified it with "we will see." The new claim of direct talks suggests a diplomatic channel may be active alongside the military posturing.

No further details — such as which Iranian officials were involved, the content of the discussions, or the timing of the calls — have been disclosed. The White House has not officially confirmed the conversations, and the report remains attributed to a single journalistic source.
