Iran, US envoys to hold nuclear talks in Oman

KABUL (Pajhwok): President Donald Trump has said the US and Iran will hold “direct talks” over a possible nuclear deal on Saturday in Oman.

According to the BBC, President Donald Trump said this during his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US was in direct discussions with Iran and that it would have a “very high level” talks next Saturday.

Trump said Iran “must not get access to nuclear weapons” and warned it would be a “very bad day for Iran” if no agreement was reached.

This is while IRNA quoted Iranian foreign minister Sayyid Abbas Araghchi as saying yesterday that the talks between the representatives of the two countries will be held indirectly.

Araghchi said: “This could be as much an opportunity as … a test and the ball is in America’s court.”
