Iranian officials have told mediators they are ready to resume talks with the United States, but only after Israel stops its attacks on Iran, sources said, reports The Washington Post.

Efforts to start talks on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran have been led by Qatar and Oman.

US President Donald Trump invited special envoy Steve Witkoff and Vice President JD Vance this week to meet with Iranian officials, informs The New York Times.

Trump has instructed his team to arrange a meeting with Iranian officials as soon as possible, CNN reports.

On June 13, Israel attacked Iran, which was followed by retaliatory measures. Military actions between the two countries are continuing.
