Donald Trump, the president of the United States, expressed enthusiasm over the continued nuclear negotiations with Iran on Sunday, calling the most recent round of discussions “very, very good” and pointing out that a breakthrough might remain announced “over the next two days.” Trump addressed reporters on the tarmac at Morristown Airport before taking the plane to the airport, saying that the second round of discussions, which took place in Rome and were mediated by Oman, had produced “real progress, significant progress” toward a possible new deal aimed at Since the US unilaterally withdrew from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA ) during Trump’s first term, the high-level discussions have begun in April. Iran was prohibited from developing nuclear weapons by that monument agreement, which also included imposing strict restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program. Iranian authorities were more optimistic in their evaluations than Trump, who ended the day on a positive note by describing the political route as “very, very good.” Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s lead negotiator and foreign minister, called the negotiations” overly complicated to resolve in two or three conferences.” He claimed that the second round had come to an end” with some but not compelling improvement” in a post on X, and that” the remaining problems” may be resolved in the coming days. The most recent discussions come ahead of an important IAEA ( IAEA ) meeting in Vienna in June, where Iran’s nuclear activities will be reviewed. The diplomatic effort comes as key provisions of the 2015 agreement expire in October, making it urgent for both parties to reach a decision. Trump has reinvigorated his “maximum pressure” policy toward Iran since taking office, strengthening sanctions and offering military alternatives in the event of diplomatic stutter. Even so, Sunday’s comments suggest a potentially softer stance, at least temporarily, as both parties weigh the cost of an ongoing uprising.
