Steve Witkoff, U.S. special envoy to the Middle East, said Tuesday that talks with Tehran for a long-term peace agreement are “promising" — a day after President Trump announced a temporary ceasefire agreement after 12 days of conflict between Iran and Israel.

In an interview on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Witkoff said discussions with Iranian officials were already underway, as the fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire appears to be holding.

“The president has said unequivocally that he wants to see — and he's hopeful for — a comprehensive peace agreement that goes beyond even the ceasefire,” Witkoff told host Laura Ingraham.
