US President Donald Trump on Monday (April 7) confirmed that the United States had launched direct conversations with Iran on their nuclear program, which meant significant diplomatic development during long -term tensions.
“We have direct conversations with Iran and they started. It will work on Saturday,” Trump told reporters at the White House, adding, “We have a very big meeting and see what can happen.”
Trump: Agreement is more appropriate than “obvious”
Trump emphasized the commitment of his administration to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. “Everyone agrees that the conclusion of the agreement would be more convenient than obvious,” Trump said, indicating possible military consequences if diplomacy fails.
“There is no obvious thing I want to get involved with, or frankly that Israel wants to get involved if he can avoid it,” he added, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was present at the oval office.
“I think if the conversations are not successful with Iran, I think Iran will be in great danger and I hate to say it – a great danger,” Trump told reporters in an oval office, adding that Tehran “can’t have a nuclear weapon.”
“If the conversations are not successful, I think it will be a very bad day for Iran,” he added.
Talks at a “very high level”
When Trump was sought for further details, he described the actions as “at almost the highest level” and ruled out the use of intermediaries.
“We don’t use substitutes; we’re dealing with them directly,” he said. “It would be in the best interest of Iran if these conversations were successful.”
Hope for a diplomatic breakthrough
Trump repeated his hope that diplomacy would win, suggesting that a successful business would benefit to all parties. “Hopefully these conversations will be successful,” he said.
