Trump Warns Tehran of 'Great Danger' If It Fails
-
President Donald Trump said the US was starting direct, high-level talks with Iran over its nuclear programme on Saturday, in a shock announcement during a White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said he was hopeful of reaching a deal with Tehran, but warned the Islamic republic would be in "great danger" if the talks failed.
Tehran confirmed talks were set for Saturday in Oman, but stressed they were "indirect".
According to Iranian news agency Tasnim, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will attend, as will the top US envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.
"It is as much an opportunity as it is a test," Araghchi wrote on X. "The ball is in America's court."
