President Donald Trump revealed that the U.S. and Iran will engage in direct talks about Iran's nuclear program, marking a surprising shift in diplomacy. This comes after Iranian officials had previously resisted U.S. calls for direct negotiations, suggesting they might only be open to indirect discussions.
During a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office, Trump told reporters, "We’re having direct talks with Iran, and they’ve started. It’ll go on Saturday." He emphasized the importance of reaching an agreement, stating, "I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable," though he did not provide further details on the talks.
"We're having direct talks with Iran," says @POTUS.
