Trump expected to ask Middle East envoy Witkoff to handle Iran diplomacy
Briefly

President Trump is inclined to delegate Iran diplomacy to envoy Steve Witkoff, reflecting his desire for a new nuclear deal. This approach showcases a preference for diplomatic solutions over military options, especially after Witkoff's successful role in achieving a ceasefire deal regarding Gaza. Diplomatic discussions are in progress, as international diplomats have engaged with Iran, emphasizing Tehran's interest in resuming negotiations for a nuclear deal that differs from the previous agreement Trump abandoned in 2018.
"The president will not allow a bomb to be gotten by the Iranians. Not going to happen. We're not going to that place... hopefully, we can solve it diplomatically."
"And the president is all about solving it diplomatically, if that's possible, and if people are going to adhere to their agreements. But, if not, then the alternative is not necessarily a good one," Witkoff said.
