President Donald Trump said on Monday (April 7, 2025) that the United States and Iran were beginning direct talks on Tehran’s nuclear program, a surprise announcement after Iranian officials had appeared to rebuff U.S. calls for such negotiations.<\/p>\n

Iran had pushed back against Trump’s demands that it directly negotiate<\/a> over its nuclear program or be bombed, though it had initially left the door open to indirect discussions.<\/p>\n

“We’re having direct talks with Iran, and they’ve started. It’ll go on Saturday. We have a very big meeting, and we’ll see what can happen,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office during talks with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/a><\/p>\n

“And I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable,” Mr. Trump said. He did not elaborate.<\/p>\n

Warnings by Mr. Trump of military action against Iran had jangled already tense nerves across the Middle East after open warfare in Gaza and Lebanon, military strikes on Yemen, a change of leadership in Syria and Israeli-Iranian exchanges of fire.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump has said he would prefer a deal over Iran’s nuclear program to a military confrontation and he said on March 7 he had written to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to suggest talks. Iranian officials said at the time that Tehran would not be bullied into negotiations.<\/p>\n

During his 2017-2021 term, Mr. Trump withdrew the U.S. from a 2015 deal between Iran and world powers that placed strict limits on Tehran’s disputed nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. Trump also reimposed sweeping U.S. sanctions.<\/p>\n

Since then, Iran has far surpassed that deal’s limits on uranium enrichment.<\/p>\n

Western powers accuse Iran of having a clandestine agenda to develop nuclear weapons capability by enriching uranium to a high level of fissile purity, above what they say is justifiable for a civilian atomic energy program.<\/p>\n

Tehran says its nuclear program is wholly for civilian energy purposes.<\/p>\n
