President Donald Trump suggested on Wednesday that progress in negotiations with Iran could be reached within days, though he acknowledged the possibility of failure.
White House Remarks
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump stated, 'It might not happen,' before adding, 'It could happen over the weekend.' The comments come amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to revive the nuclear deal with Iran.
Background
The United States and Iran have been engaged in indirect talks aimed at returning to compliance with the 2015 nuclear agreement, from which Trump withdrew in 2018. The negotiations have seen ups and downs, with both sides signaling willingness to reach a deal but also highlighting significant differences.
Trump's latest remarks indicate a cautious optimism, as he did not rule out a breakthrough in the coming days. However, he also tempered expectations by noting that the outcome remains uncertain.
The potential progress could have major implications for global oil markets, regional security, and international diplomacy. Observers will be watching closely for any developments over the weekend.
