President Trump recently expressed optimism about the possibility of direct negotiations with Iran, suggesting that their initial preference for intermediaries may have changed. He emphasized that face-to-face discussions lead to quicker resolutions and a better understanding between parties. While Iran has dismissed the idea of direct talks, the U.S. administration continues to enforce strict sanctions targeting Iranian oil exports. Trump previously withdrew from a nuclear agreement that sought to mitigate Iran's nuclear ambitions, complicating the diplomatic landscape further. Both sides have issued threats amid these ongoing tensions.
I think it's better if we have direct talks, he said. I think it goes faster, and you understand the other side a lot better than if you go through intermediaries.
Last month, Trump sent a letter to the Iranian leadership calling for negotiations to address Iran's nuclear programme.
If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing, he said last week.
Tehran maintains that it is not seeking a nuclear weapon.
