President Donald Trump provided an update on Wednesday on the status of talks with Iran, telling reporters that discussions are 'progressing' and that the U.S. had 'prepared them hard last week,' according to N12. Trump reiterated his core position that Iran cannot acquire nuclear weapons.
The remarks follow a series of recent White House statements on Iran. As The Zioneer reported Wednesday at 15:37, Trump earlier said disarming Iran of nuclear weapons is 'progressing well' and that there had been 'several good meetings.' The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that Trump held talks with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine about the military option but chose to continue the diplomatic track for now.
This latest comment adds a note of U.S. pressure alongside diplomacy — 'preparing them hard' appears to reference continued sanctions enforcement or recent strikes. No further details on the precise content of the meetings or the timeline for a deal were provided.
