Trump: Washington Stands with Al-Zaidi "Until the End"; Phone Talks with Iran Continue Despite Reservations

 President Trump stated in May 2026 that Iraq's Ali Al-Zaidi has full U.S. support "until the end" as he prepares to lead the new government. Concurrently, Trump highlighted ongoing 2026 diplomatic engagement with Iran via telephone, though he remains unsatisfied with their recent proposals. The U.S. continues to push for better terms in the 2026 negotiations, with Trump remaining uncertain about the likelihood of a comprehensive deal with Tehran.
