U.S. President, Donald Trump has said that he expects to make a decision on Iran very soon, after both countries held "positive" and "constructive" talks in Oman on Saturday and agreed to reconvene this week.
Trump, who has threatened military action if no deal is reached to halt Iran's nuclear program, told reporters aboard Air Force One that he had met with advisers regarding Iran and anticipated a swift decision. He provided no further details.
"We'll be making a decision on Iran very quickly," Trump said on Sunday.
According to Axios, two sources familiar with the situation indicated that a second round of nuclear talks between the United States and Iran is scheduled for next Saturday in Rome.
The talks in Oman on Saturday marked the first direct engagement between Iran and the Trump administration, including Trump's first term from 2017 to 2021. Officials described the discussions as taking place in a "productive, calm and positive atmosphere."
On Saturday, Trump told reporters that the U.S.-Iran talks were progressing "okay," adding, "Nothing matters until you get it done, so I don’t like talking about it, but it’s going okay. The Iran situation is going pretty good, I think."
