US President Donald Trump has agreed to meet with Iranian representatives to discuss Tehran’s nuclear program, White House press pool journalists reported.
– Representatives of the “Iranian leadership called” the US leader on January 10.
– “Iran wants to negotiate, yes. We may meet with them, I mean, a meeting is being set up,” Trump said
– The talks were about Tehran’s nuclear program.
– The US leader noted that Washington is in contact with Iran’s opposition forces.
– In 2015, Iran and the UK, Germany, China, Russia, the US, and France signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), ending a crisis that began in 2002 when the West accused Tehran of developing nuclear weapons.
– In 2018, US President Donald Trump announced the US withdrawal from the agreement and reinstated all US sanctions against Iran.
– In response, Tehran announced in 2020 that it would reduce its commitments under the JCPOA and restrict IAEA inspectors’ access to nuclear facilities.
– The agency continued its inspections until the Iranian-Israeli escalation in June 2025.
