On June 24, 2026, President Trump announced a new ceasefire agreement with Iran following the US airstrikes on Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment site, the Natanz Nuclear Facility, and the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center on June 21. US representative Steve Witkoff confirmed that direct and mediated talks between the US and Iran have commenced, focusing on a return to comprehensive peace negotiations. Witkoff highlighted that the US demands an immediate halt to all uranium enrichment activities by Iran, a condition that Iran has yet to accept. Senior US officials have expressed their desire to prevent further escalation of the conflict. Meanwhile, two US aircraft carriers remain operational in the Middle East. This ceasefire comes at a time when the Senate is set to vote on a 50-48 war powers resolution amid significant domestic political pressure on the Trump administration regarding an $80 billion military spending proposal.
