Iran said after a rare talks on Saturday that US President Donald Trump has threatened military action after failing to reach an agreement.

Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi, who spoke briefly with Trump’s special envoy to Steve Watkov during an indirect meeting in Oman, said the talks would resume next week.

“The US party also said that there was a positive agreement that could be reached as soon as possible but it would not be easy and it would require consent on both sides,” Aragchi told Iranian state television.

He added, “In today’s meeting, I think we have come very close to the foundation of the negotiations … neither we nor the other party to negotiate negotiations, talks for discussions, wasting time or dialogue that forever drag.”

Iran said that the Foreign Minister of Oman worked as a brave in the talks in Muscat. The Americans demanded meetings face to face.

However, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said the negotiators also spoke directly for “a few minutes”. It says the conversation was “in a constructive and mutual environment”.

Long -term opponents, who have not had diplomatic relations for more than 40 years, have been looking for a new nuclear deal after withdrawing from the first deal during their first term in 2018.

Aragchi, an experienced diplomat and key architect of the 2015 Accord Accord, and the property unmanaged magnet Watkov led the delegation in high-level Iran-US nuclear talks since the end of the previous deal.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmiel Bakai posted on X, the two parties were in the “separate hall” and was conveying their views and places to each other through the Foreign Minister of the Omani Foreign Minister.

Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr al -Busaidi said the process took place in a “friendly environment”.

Iran, which is weakened by Israel’s Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, is weakened by Hamas’s nastyness, seeking to get rid of widespread sanctions stopping its economy.

Tehran has agreed to these meetings, despite the “maximum pressure” campaign to promote sanctions and promote military risks.

Meanwhile, the United States, Iran’s enemy, with Israel, wants to prevent Tehran from being near to develop a nuclear bomb.

Open for Vaticov ‘compromise’

There were no clear signs of a high -level meeting at a luxury hotel in Muscat, which was where the 2015 contract came when Barack Obama was the US president.

Vetticov had earlier told the Wall Street Journal that the US position begins with the demand that Iran completely abolish its nuclear program. This theory is through hard -working around Trump, who is expected to accept Iran.

“This does not mean that we will not find ways to find a compromise between the two countries on the margin,” said the newspaper.

“Where we have a red line, you cannot have a weapon of nuclear capability,” he added.

The talks were revealed in a surprising announcement by Trump during a White House hearing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.

Hours before his start, Trump told reporters on Air Force One: “I want Iran to become an amazing, great, happy country. But they may not have nuclear weapons.”

Ali Shamkhani, adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamini, said that Iran was “looking for a real and fair deal”.

Following the repeated threats of military action by both the United States and Israel after Saturday’s meetings.

When Trump asked on Wednesday, what would happen when this failed, Trump said on Wednesday that “if he needs an army, we are going to create an army.”

‘The survival of the government’

The purpose of which Trump had abandoned the 2015 deal was to make an atom bomb for Iran practically impossible, while at the same time he was allowed to follow the civil nuclear program.

Iran, which insists that its nuclear program is only for civilian purposes, accelerated its activities after Trump withdraws from the deal.

The latest international nuclear power agency said Iran’s estimates are enriched up to 604.8kg of uranium, which is close to 90 % of the weapons group.

The Iranian government’s survival could be at risk, said Karim Butter, a Middle East study lecturer at Sciences PO University in Paris.

He told AFP, “Another priority is the survival of the government, and for example, some oxygen, getting rid of some restrictions, so that their economy can be re -continued, because the government has become quite unpopular.”
