U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday (April 13, 2025) that he expected to make a decision on Iran very quickly, after both countries said they held “positive” and “constructive” talks in Oman on Saturday (April 12) and agreed to reconvene this week.
Watch: U.S. in hurry for nuclear deal, says Iran; White House calls high-stakes talk ‘positive and constructive’
Mr. Trump, who has threatened military action if no deal is reached on halting Iran’s nuclear programme, told reporters aboard Air Force One that he met with advisers on Iran and expected a quick decision. He gave no further details.
“We’ll be making a decision on Iran very quickly,” he said.
Axios cited two sources with knowledge of the issue as saying that a second round of nuclear talks between the United States and Iran would take place next Saturday in Rome.
The talks held in Oman on Saturday (April 12) were the first between Iran and a Trump administration, including the U.S. President’s 2017-2021 first term. Officials said they took place in a “productive, calm and positive atmosphere”.
On Saturday (April 12), Mr. Trump told reporters the U.S.-Iran talks were going “okay”, adding, “Nothing matters until you get it done, so I don’t like talking about it, but it’s going okay. The Iran situation is going pretty good, I think.”
