The talks between the United States and Iran are back on.
Those appeared to have fallen off the table when Iran recently bombarded commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz and President Donald Trump said a memorandum of understanding, including a ceasefire, was off.
But talks are back again.
On social media, Trump said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue ‘talks.’ We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

A report from Reuters said Trump’s comments came after three Qatari and Saudi commercial tankers came under fire this week, prompting the U.S. to hit Iranian sites, and Iran to respond with strikes on U.S. military installations in neighboring Gulf states.
The report quoted a source explaining, “Talks in Iran aim to address the implementation of the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding and the issues that triggered the recent escalation between Washington and Tehran, including disputes over navigation in the strait.”
The conflict erupted last winter and was begun by Trump in order to assure the world that the rogue Islamists in Tehran never would have a nuclear weapon with which to threaten, even destroy, other nations.
The recent ceasefire was dramatically interrupted by the exchange of firepower.
Even so, the U.S. remained engaged in conversations with Iran, published reports explained.
Meanwhile, shipping giant Maersk announced its plans to resume trips between the Middle East and the U.S. via the Suez Canal.
The company had been pressured to resume those trips even as the U.S.-Iran conflict disturbs shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
