Investing.com – German Foreign Minister said Tuesday that he believes President Trump’s announcement of negotiations with Iran could mark a turning point in the nearly month-long conflict.

Foreign Minister Heiko Maas told MDR radio that although Tehran denies any negotiations, Trump is very likely to have had serious talks with Iran.

On Monday, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that the US and Iran had a “very good and productive” dialogue discussing a “completely thorough resolution of the hostility in the Middle East.”

Maas said he believes Trump did have genuine discussions with Iran because “otherwise he wouldn’t say that,” and he also wouldn’t have delayed his threat to attack Iranian power plants.

“Things are changing, and that’s a good thing in a time when the risk of escalation outweighs the possibility of controlling the conflict,” Maas said.

The foreign minister described the current situation as “a fragile beginning, but nonetheless a start.”

Maas added that all parties “should work to ensure this development bears fruit and find ways to control this conflict.”
