President Trump stated that the U.S. is engaging in direct, high-level talks with Iran about its nuclear program, marking the first engagement since the U.S. left the JCPOA in 2018. Scheduled for Saturday, Trump warned Iran of "great danger" if no agreement is achieved, emphasizing the urgent need for diplomacy over military action. Israeli PM Netanyahu supports U.S. goals to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. While Iranian officials indicate a willingness to negotiate, they have historically preferred indirect talks. The backdrop includes rising concerns about Iran's nuclear advancements and increasing regional militarization.
