United States President Donald Trump confirmed that ongoing talks with Iran regarding its nuclear program are “developing quite well,” emphasizing that while the tone is positive, results will only matter once a concrete solution is achieved. His remarks, delivered aboard Air Force One, echoed earlier statements from both US and Iranian officials highlighting the constructive nature of the discussions.

The initial round of negotiations, held in Muscat, Oman, was led by US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Araghchi described the talks as “constructive,” noting that the atmosphere was “respectful” and free of sharp words. He added that the official session lasted two and a half hours, and both parties agreed to reconvene the following Saturday to begin outlining a general framework for resolving key disagreements—particularly regarding Iran’s nuclear activities.

Steve Witkoff also characterized the summit as “positive” in a brief statement to NBC News. He confirmed the next round of discussions is scheduled for April 19, before departing Oman for the United States. The White House later released a statement reiterating that both sides showed a genuine willingness to work towards a solution, with President Trump aiming to settle US-Iran differences through diplomacy and mutual respect.

Although no groundbreaking breakthroughs were achieved during this first meeting, both delegations expressed satisfaction with the tone and direction of the talks. Araghchi noted that there were no extraordinary exchanges during his brief personal interaction with Witkoff, which occurred informally as their teams crossed paths after the session.

As anticipation builds for the upcoming April 19 summit, all eyes are on whether this diplomatic opening will pave the way toward a comprehensive agreement on one of the world’s most complex geopolitical issues.
