Scoop: Trump holds situation room meeting on Iran nuclear deal negotiations

President Trump convened a high-level meeting to discuss the US position in upcoming nuclear deal talks with Iran. The meeting included top national security and foreign policy officials amidst internal debate over negotiation strategies. Trump spoke with the Sultan of Oman, who is mediating between the US and Iran, to support the negotiations. Conflicting viewpoints exist within the administration, with some favoring diplomacy and compromise while others advocate a maximalist approach. Trump himself has expressed mixed signals, desiring a deal but also threatening military action. Steve Witkoff indicated a possible compromise on uranium enrichment levels, sparking controversy and requiring clarification. Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei described the initial talks as "satisfactory" but remained skeptical. The next round of negotiations, initially planned for Rome, might be moved back to Muscat. Differing views persist regarding the extent of nuclear program dismantling and regional security requirements. Vance's presence in Rome may have prompted the potential relocation of the talks.
