US-Iran Peace Talks Reportedly Continuing Despite Mutual Attacks

Istanbul (ANTARA) - Peace negotiations between the United States and Iran remain on the right track despite both countries engaging in mutual attacks over the past few days, CNN reported on Thursday (11/6), citing a diplomatic source.

The two warring nations have launched attacks against each other for two consecutive days.

US President Donald Trump has warned that his administration would launch further attacks if Iran does not immediately accept the offered peace deal.

In a statement, US Central Command (CENTCOM) stated that US forces attacked several military targets in Iran from Wednesday night through to Thursday morning.

CENTCOM described the strikes as an act of “self-defence” following the downing of an American military helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz.

Previously, Trump stated that Iran has taken too long in negotiations and must therefore face the consequences.

The negotiations, which have been ongoing since the ceasefire in April, focus on efforts to reopen shipping access through the Strait of Hormuz and to reach an agreement regarding Iran’s nuclear programme.

The US-Iran dialogue, mediated by Pakistan, is also focused on efforts to permanently end the war that began on 28 February 2026.
