According to Al Jazeera, neither the U.S. State Department nor the White House has commented on the allegedly ongoing talks, which is not uncommon. As tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated to a point of near-conflict, countries such as Qatar and Pakistan repeatedly offered to act as mediators and made efforts in this regard. Trump has consistently praised Qatar's role in these mediation efforts. However, frankly, in the 24 hours since Trump returned from the NATO summit in Turkey, he has not commented on this specific issue. During this time, he only posted one social media update announcing the renaming of Palm Jumeirah International Airport to one named after himself, which is indeed very unusual. Given the current situation, Trump's silence is particularly unusual.
