Trump says US will deal ‘directly’ with Iran in high-level meeting on Saturday

President Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. will engage ‘directly’ with Iran in a high-level meeting set to occur this coming Saturday. 

‘We have a very big meeting on Saturday, and we’re dealing with them directly,’ Trump told reporters from the Oval Office while sitting next to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

The announced meeting is the first known time the U.S. will directly engage with Iran since the previous Trump administration, when it withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018. 

‘We’ll see what can happen. I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious,’ Trump said in reference to his threat last week in which he said he would ‘bomb’ Iran if it didn’t enter talks to end its nuclear program.

‘[That’s] not something that I want to be involved with, or frankly, that Israel wants to be involved with, if they can avoid it,’ Trump continued. ‘We’re going to see if we can avoid it. 

‘It’s getting to be very dangerous territory,’ Trump warned. ‘And hopefully those talks will be successful.’

The president refused to detail where the talks would take place or how they would differ from the JCPOA, saying only that they will be ‘different’ and ‘stronger.’

Following the U.S. withdrawal from the agreement, the nuclear deal essentially collapsed despite the remaining signatories – which included the U.K., China, France, Russia and Germany – and Iran began rapidly developing its nuclear program. 

Earlier this year, the U.N. nuclear watchdog warned that Tehran had amassed enough near-weapons-grade enriched uranium to build five nuclear weapons if the uranium were further enriched. 

‘I think if the talks aren’t successful with Iran… Iran is going to be in great danger,’ Trump said Monday.

It is unclear if Israel, or any other nations, will be involved in the talks, though Netanyahu made clear Jerusalem is aligned with the U.S. in securing a deal to end Iran’s nuclear program.

‘We’re both united in the goal that Iran does not ever get nuclear weapons, that it can be done diplomatically in a full way, the way it was done in Libya,’ Netanyahu told reporters. ‘I think that would be a good thing. 

‘But whatever happens, we have to make sure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons,’ he added.
