The White House said the nuclear negotiations between a high advisor to Donald Trump and Iran’s Foreign Minister on Saturday (12) were one step in the right direction and confirmed plans for new conversations next week.
The “direct communication” between President Donald Trump’s envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was “very positive and constructive,” the White House said in a statement.
Witkoff “stressed to Dr. Araye that he received instructions from President Trump to resolve differences between our two nations through dialogue and diplomacy, if this is possible,” the statement said, calling “a step ahead to achieve a mutually beneficial result.”
The US statement thanked Oman for his role as mediator in negotiations and noted that the US ambassador in Oman, Ana Escrogima, was also present.
The White House said the two parts plan to meet again next Saturday (19).
In comments released by Iranian media, Tehran also described negotiations as “constructive” and shared the plans for new discussions next week.
Negotiations occur after Trump threatens with military attacks against Iran if the country did not agree with a new agreement. In response, Tehran warned that any attack would drag the US to a broader conflict in the Middle East.
Trump gave Tehran a period of two months to accept an agreement that would lead Iran to reduce his nuclear presence or completely eliminate his nuclear program.
