Trump hints at a US-Iran nuclear deal, while Iran reports no progress in the talks. World News
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that talks with Iran are going “very well” and that Tehran has agreed to allow US personnel to enter Iran and recover buried nuclear material in coordination with Iranian officials after the war ends.
“It’s very, very difficult to achieve… but still, I want to achieve it,”
Trump told reporters at the White House. Despite recent attacks in the region,
Trump said the US-Iran ceasefire that took effect in early April remains in place, suggesting that an interim agreement could be reached “over the weekend” as talks move forward.”
The conversation itself has been very good – really, very good – and if it happens (it may or may not), it could be like a weekend.
Trump said. Trump claimed that Iranian officials “have changed their minds several times, but as things stand right now, we will go in at some point in the near future.”

In sharp contrast, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Wednesday that there has been “no concrete progress” in talks to end the Middle East war.
Communications with the Americans have not been cut, and messages have been exchanged about stopping aggression against Beirut, but there has been no concrete progress in negotiations.
The Tasnim news agency quoted Araghchi as saying this to Lebanon’s Al Mayadeen TV. Araghchi warned that any Israeli attack on Beirut would lead to a “full-scale resumption” of the conflict.”
Any attack on Beirut would have serious consequences and would lead to a full-scale resumption of war. If Israel attacks Beirut, our armed forces are ready to attack it.”
Iranian naval forces have also targeted the “command center” on a US destroyer in the Gulf of Oman in response to US “violations of the rules” of the Strait of Hormuz and its “hostile” actions against Iranian ships, state-owned IRIB TV reported on Wednesday.
A few minutes later, US Central Command denied the claim at X.
On Wednesday, US lawmakers dealt Trump a political setback when the House passed a resolution directing the withdrawal of US troops from the Iran war.
“This is a clear message to Donald Trump from the American people: It is time to end his deeply unpopular and illegal choice in Iran,” the Democrats posted on Twitter.
