Trump threatens to leave Russia-Ukraine peace talks
Fox News’s senior strategic analyst Jack Keen joined the ‘US News Room’ for the latest discussion on the Trump administration’s conversation with Iran on his nuclear program and the President’s effort to end the war in Ukraine.
The US and Iran have agreed to meet in the end of this week in the end of this week to meet for conversation in Oman later this week, when they met in Italy in Italy to discuss the Iran’s nuclear program on Saturday.
The details of the conversation have not been released and no concrete progress is clear in ending Iran’s nuclear program, although an official of a senior administration told Fox News that “very good progress” was made.
“Today, in Rome, more than four hours in our second round conversation, we made great progress in our direct and indirect discussions,” the officer said on Saturday. “We agreed to meet again next week and are grateful to our Omani partners for our Italian partners to host these dialogues and host us today.”

The reports said that the Middle East Envoy Steve Vitkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke face-to-face in some time, the second time in several weeks.
But the talks have not been “direct” only between Washington and Tehran as President Donald Trump stressed earlier this month that they had flatly rejected by Iran – something was suggested to compromise.
Witcoff discussed directly with his Iranian counterpart, which is unknown.
Argchi also expressed some optimism in his review of conversation with Italy, although his perspective appeared slightly more silent.
“The relatively positive atmosphere in Rome has enabled progress on the principles and objectives of a possible deal,” he has written in a post on X. “We clarified how many Iran believe in Iran (Joint Comprehensive Action Plan) JCPOA is no longer enough for us. For them, whatever has been left, ‘lessons have been learned from the deal.” Personally, I agree. ,
Colonel. Richard Kemp suspected the Trump talks with Iran that ‘what needs to be achieved’ would achieve.

“The initiation of expert level tracks will begin to exclude details in the coming days,” Argchi said. “After that, we will be in a better position to do justice. For now, optimism can be warrant, but only with caution.”
It is not clear that this round of interactions to end Iran’s nuclear program will be different from the nuclear deal of JPCOA, an Obama-era, which Trump left during his first term, although the President and other security experts expressed a feeling of urgency in finding a very near future.
But experts have warned that these dialogues need to be more involved than JCPOA, given the current advanced position of Iran’s nuclear program, and they need to be very soon.
“, Who is expected to avoid repetitions of 2013 and 2015, is worrying to worry to worry for those who are alleged to offer Iran for a three-step interim or phased proposal for a deal of Iran,” the senior partner, Behanam Ben Tellav, to protect Iran’s expert and Democracy, described the Fools News Digital.
He said, “This would be the height of strategic misconduct and would be a political goal to allow the Islamic Republic to force the Islamic Republic into a deal under the Trump Administration, which only amended the agreement that Trump correctly criticized in 2018 and went away from 2018,” he said.
Similarly, Fox News’s senior strategic analyst, retired general Jack Keen, many security experts are looking at these talks with “real concern” because “Iran is not Iran in 2015 in 2025 when it was the first nuclear deal.”

“The difference is that Iran has the ability to create advanced centrifuge that can enrich uranium in a few weeks from zero to arms grade,” Keen said.
Essentially, this means that the US should not only persuade Iran to get rid of its close-host-grade rich uranium-if enriched further, it is sufficient to produce five nuclear weapons when prosperous-but also destroyed its manufacturing capabilities.
“The second thing that is different in 2025 – they have ballistic missiles that can give weapons,” said Keen. “It remains to be seen what is going to happen in the deal.”
