Well, as you said, this is the second meeting between the U.S. and Iran. Last week, the two sides met in Oman for what was considered a groundbreaking meeting in some ways. It's been years since the two sides had held direct talks. But essentially, that one was a formality really to get the ball rolling.

Today, Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, sits down with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arachi to get more to the meat of the issue. But, you know, over the past few days, Witkoff has been putting out seemingly contradictory statements. He first said that Iran could enrich uranium to low-grade level to produce energy.

Then he turned around and said Iran must stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment. And, you know, that would be a non-starter for Iran, which insists on its right to enrich uranium for civilian use. You know, in its first term in 2018, Trump pulled the U.S. out of a previous nuclear accord negotiated by President Obama, and it's known as the JCPOA.

Well, Trump said Thursday that he still supports a negotiated deal with Iran over its nuclear program. But he also noted that failure to reach an agreement would be, in his words, very bad for Iran. And, you know, that came when he was asked about a report that claimed he had waved off an Israeli plan to bomb Iran's nuclear facilities. This is what he said.
