US President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, says the US and Iran are already in early discussions about resuming negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.
Witkoff says the US and Iran are engaged in direct talks and through intermediaries about getting back to the table after Israeli and US strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities ended yesterday in a ceasefire that Trump helped mediate.
“The conversations are promising. We’re hopeful,” Witkoff says in an interview with Fox News. “Now it’s time to sit down with the Iranians and get to a comprehensive peace deal.”
