The guns may not be completely silent yet, but President Donald Trump says diplomacy is suddenly moving faster than many expected.
Trump announced Monday that negotiations with Iran are continuing at a “rapid pace,” signaling fresh momentum after a tense weekend that appeared to leave peace efforts hanging by a thread.
The president delivered the update on Truth Social, where he indicated that discussions with the Islamic Republic remain active despite reports of stalled negotiations and Iranian frustration over ongoing regional military operations.

The optimistic message came just hours after Trump revealed he had personally intervened to secure a new ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, a development that could remove a major obstacle standing in the way of broader negotiations.
According to Trump, he held a “very productive” conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and received assurances that Israeli forces would not enter Beirut.
“I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back,” Trump wrote.
Trump also said he communicated with Hezbollah through intermediaries and received commitments that hostilities would stop.
“Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel,” he added.

The ceasefire announcement arrived amid reports from Iranian state-linked media that Tehran had been unwilling to participate in negotiations while Israeli military operations against Hezbollah continued. If the truce holds, it could remove one of the key sticking points that had threatened to derail talks altogether.
Trump says Iran negotiations are moving at a “rapid pace” — the president signaled momentum on the diplomatic front even as tensions in the region remain elevated.
Trump announced a new Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire — the deal came together after the president personally called both sides to broker the agreement.
Netanyahu reportedly gave Trump a key assurance — the Israeli prime minister told the president that Israeli troops would not enter Beirut, a condition that likely helped unlock the ceasefire.
Tehran had been stonewalling while Israeli operations against Hezbollah continued — Iran reportedly refused to engage in negotiations until those strikes stopped, making the ceasefire a potential opening for broader diplomacy.
Earlier Monday, Trump offered a characteristically blunt assessment of Iran’s negotiating team during an interview with NBC News.
“They’re better negotiators than they are fighters,” Trump said.
That remark reflected a strategy the president has increasingly emphasized in recent weeks: maintaining pressure while leaving the door open for a negotiated settlement.
The White House has repeatedly argued that military escalation is not the preferred outcome and that diplomacy remains possible if regional actors step back from the brink.
