This week, former President Donald Trump indicated his willingness to engage in discussions with Iran’s supreme leader or president, expressing confidence in a potential new agreement regarding Iran’s controversial nuclear program.
Despite having withdrawn from the previous nuclear deal in 2018, Trump reiterated his warning of possible military intervention if negotiations do not yield a new agreement promptly, aimed at curtailing Iran’s nuclear weapon development.
In an interview with Time magazine published on April 22, Trump stated, “I think we’re going to reach a deal with Iran,” following indirect discussions between U.S. and Iranian representatives that concluded last week, where they outlined a possible framework for future talks.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump maintained his upbeat outlook, asserting, “Iran, I believe, is going really well. We’ll see how it unfolds.”
A U.S. official characterized the negotiations as having made “very good progress.”
When asked by Time if he would be open to meeting with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who holds significant influence over state decisions, or President Masoud Pezeshkian, Trump responded affirmatively: “Sure.”
High-level discussions are scheduled to continue on Saturday in Oman, which has served as a mediator in the ongoing tensions between the two nations.
The Israeli government, a strong ally of the U.S. and a primary adversary of Iran in the Middle East, labeled Iran’s advancing uranium enrichment efforts—a potential route to nuclear weapons—as an “existential threat.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for the complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, expressing that partial measures will not safeguard Israeli interests.
When questioned during the interview about the possibility of Netanyahu involving the U.S. in a conflict with Iran, Trump replied: “No.”
On whether the U.S. would support Israel in military action against Iran, he stated, “I might willingly join if we are unable to reach a deal. If we can’t secure an agreement, I will be at the forefront.”
In response to Trump’s outreach for negotiations in March, Iran acknowledged it would not enter direct talks under “maximum pressure” and military threats but was open to indirect discussions, similar to previous engagements.
While current discussions have been indirect, U.S. and Iranian officials did have a brief face-to-face meeting after their initial round of talks on April 12.
The last confirmed in-person negotiations took place during President Barack Obama’s administration, which led to the 2015 nuclear agreement.
Western nations have accused Iran of pursuing an illicit agenda to develop nuclear weapon capabilities by enriching uranium to levels deemed excessive for peaceful nuclear energy purposes. Tehran insists that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful. The 2015 deal limited Iran’s uranium enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief, but Iran resumed and accelerated its enrichment activities following the U.S. exit from the agreement in 2018.
