Trump signals possible nuclear agreement with Iran as talks expected next week
US president says cease-fire is holding as Tehran moves to limit cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (MNTV) — US President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that the United States is expected to hold discussions with Iran next week, hinting at the possibility of a new deal concerning Tehran’s nuclear program, though he cautioned that no agreement is guaranteed.
“We’re going to talk with them next week—maybe we’ll sign something, maybe not,” Trump said during a press conference on the sidelines of the NATO summit in the Netherlands.
Despite the planned discussions, Trump downplayed the need for fresh negotiations, reiterating his belief that recent US airstrikes had severely degraded Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
“In my view, the fight is over. The war is finished,” he stated, referring to the 12-day conflict that preceded a fragile cease-fire now in effect.
Tehran has not publicly confirmed any upcoming talks, but US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff previously acknowledged that there had been both direct and indirect channels of communication between the two governments.
The cease-fire, brokered earlier this week with Trump’s mediation, has so far held for two days and sparked cautious optimism for a potential de-escalation.
However, Iranian officials have made clear they have no intention of abandoning the country’s nuclear energy program.
Speaking to reporters during the NATO summit, Trump insisted that the cease-fire was progressing smoothly and reaffirmed that Iran would “not get a bomb and will not be enriching.”
On Wednesday, the Iranian parliament voted to accelerate a legislative proposal that would curtail Iran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations’ nuclear monitoring body.
The measure, if enacted, would hinder the IAEA’s long-standing oversight of Iran’s nuclear program and complicate any future verification efforts.
While the US insists Iran’s nuclear infrastructure has been crippled, Iranian leaders continue to assert their right to nuclear development, setting the stage for difficult negotiations in the days ahead.
