Trump teases ‘very big meeting’ with Iran after Netanyahu talks
President Trump Announces Direct Talks with Iran
President Trump made a significant announcement on Monday, revealing that his administration would be engaging in direct talks with Iran later this week. The President expressed his hope for a diplomatic resolution, stating that reaching a deal would be preferable to the alternative of military action.
During a meeting in the Oval Office with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump informed reporters about the upcoming discussions with Iran. He emphasized the importance of direct engagement, highlighting the potential for a positive outcome through negotiation.
Trump expressed optimism about the potential for a positive outcome, stating, “We’re having direct talks with Iran. Maybe a deal’s going to be made — that would be great. It would be really great for Iran.”
The President did not disclose the specific members of the American delegation that would participate in the talks but indicated that the discussions would be held at a high level of engagement.
Earlier this year, Trump had reinforced economic sanctions against Iran, following the Biden administration’s decision to shift away from the previous “maximum pressure” approach. The President’s stance on Iran has been consistent, with a focus on preventing the regime from obtaining nuclear weapons and cutting off support for terrorist organizations in the region.
Throughout his first term, Trump had criticized the Iran nuclear deal established during the Obama administration, citing its inadequacy in curbing Iran’s nuclear ambitions and its role in financing extremist groups.
As the situation continues to unfold, more updates on the outcome of the talks are expected. Stay tuned for further developments on this story.
