White House calls Iran talks “positive and constructive”

The White House says the first round of nuclear talks with Iran were “very positive and constructive.” This weekend’s talks lasted more than two hours and the two sides agreed to meet again next Saturday. In a statement, the White House described the direct communication with Iran’s foreign minister as “a step forward in achieving a mutually beneficial outcome.” Special Envoy Steve Witkoff told the Iranians that President Trump wants to resolve the two nations’ differences “through dialogue and diplomacy, if that is possible.”
