Wall Street Journal reports that Trump considered abandoning Iran talks after a drone incident and harassment of a US vessel, but negotiations are still expected to proceed later this week.

US President Donald Trump considered pulling out of negotiations with Iran due to what was described as Iran’s “aggressive" behavior in the Persian Gulf, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing several senior US officials. However, the report noted that the talks scheduled for later this week are still expected to take place. It did not provide details on what ultimately persuaded Trump to go ahead with the talks.

The Iranian aggression in question included firing a drone, which was shot down by a US Navy fighter jet as it was approaching the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea. That incident occurred only hours after Iranian forces harassed a US-flagged and US-crewed merchant vessel sailing through the Strait of Hormuz. The Shahed-139 drone was shot down by an F-35C launched from the Lincoln, which was operating about 500 miles from Iran’s southern coast. No American personnel were harmed and no US equipment was damaged.
