Are the U.S. and Iran talking again?

U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi have reopened a direct communications channel, Axios reported on Monday, citing a U.S. official and a source familiar with the matter. If true, it is the first known communication between the two since the war began. Some, especially in Israel, fear that the Trump administration is willing to fight only until Iran is willing to talk on U.S. terms. Yet as long as Iran remains capable of fighting, it remains a threat to Israel and the world.
