DAVOS, Switzerland, January 22. Iran wants to
engage in negotiations, U.S. President Donald Trump said during the
signing ceremony of the “Board of Peace Charter” held as part of
the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Trend reports.


“Iran does want to talk, and we’ll talk,” he emphasized.


According to the United States (US) president, a “great victory
was achieved in June toward the main goal—peace.” Trump added that
the US had completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear capability during
Operation Midnight Hammer.


“Every bomb from the B-2 bombers hit the shafts and went deep
into the ground, completely destroying everything they were working
on. They were just two months away from creating a nuclear weapon.
We could not allow that,” he explained.


In addition, Trump said that the US carried out strikes against
the Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria.


“We destroyed ISIS. During the Biden administration it recovered
a bit, but we delivered powerful strikes against it in Syria,” he
noted.


The US president added that Syria is making significant progress
and that the lifting of all sanctions has given the country “room
to breathe.”


Trump also stated that the global situation is stabilizing.


“A lot of things are happening, and many of them are good news.
Threats to Europe and America, the Middle East, and other regions
are decreasing. Everything is very different from a year ago. Just
a year ago, the world was literally on fire,” he said.


On January 21, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi issued a
warning to the U.S., stating that the country’s armed forces would
“respond without hesitation with everything we have if we are
subjected to a new attack.”


In late December 2025, Iran was swept by a wave of mass protests
after the sharp devaluation of the national currency, the Iranian
rial, deepened public anger and economic anxiety. In response,
authorities tightened security measures, and police used tear gas
and non-lethal weapons against demonstrators. Iranian officials
accuse external forces of organizing the unrest; in particular, the
country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the U.S. and
Israel were involved in the actions of the protesters.
