President Donald Trump said on Monday that the US would “directly” engage with Iran in a high-level meeting on this Saturday.
Trump sat next to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and told the Oval Office reporters, “We have a huge meeting on Saturday, and we are working directly with him.”
The declared meeting is the first known time when the US will directly connect with Iran since the Trump administration, when it withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Action Plan (JCPOA) in 2018.

In the context of his threat last week, Trump said, “We will see what can happen. I think everyone agrees to clarify a deal,” Trump said last week in the context of his threat that he said that he would “bomb” Iran if he does not enter the conversation to end his nuclear program.
Trump said, “(this) is nothing with which I want to join, or clearly, if they want to join with Israel, if they can avoid it,” Trump continued. “We are going to see if we can avoid it.
“This is a very dangerous area,” Trump warned. “And hopefully they will be successful.”

The President refused to expand where the talks would be or how they would be different from JCPOA, just saying that they would be “separate” and “strong”.
Following the US’s return from the agreement, the nuclear deal essentially collapsed despite the remaining signators – which included the UK, China, France, Russia and Germany – and Iran began to develop its nuclear program rapidly.

Earlier this year, the United Nations nuclear guard warned that Tehran had enriched the grade rich uranium of adequate-hatters to create five nuclear weapons if uranium was further enriched.
“I think if the conversation is not successful with Iran … Iran is going to be in great danger,” Trump said on Monday.
It is unclear whether Israel, or any other nation, would be involved in dialogue, although Netanyahu clarified that Jerusalem has been formed with the US in acquiring a deal to end Iran’s nuclear program.

Netanyahu told reporters, “Both of us are united in the goal that Iran never gets nuclear weapons, that it can be done completely diplomatic, the way it was done in Libya.” “I think it would be a good thing.
“But whatever happens, we have to ensure that Iran does not have nuclear weapons,” he said.
