US President Donald Trump has agreed to meet with Iranian representatives to discuss Tehran's nuclear program, White House reporters announced.
According to their information, representatives of the “Iranian leadership” called the American leader on January 10. “Iran wants to negotiate, yes. We can meet with them, I mean, a meeting is being arranged,” Trump said. According to Reuters, the talks were about Tehran’s nuclear program. The news agency also noted that the American leader noted that Washington is in contact with Iranian opposition forces.
In 2015, Iran and the United Kingdom, Germany, China, Russia, the United States and France signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), ending a crisis that began in 2002 when the West accused Tehran of developing nuclear weapons. However, in 2018, US President Donald
Trump announced the US withdrawal from the deal and reinstated all US sanctions against Iran. In response, Tehran announced in 2020 that it would scale back its commitments under the JCPOA and limit access to IAEA inspectors to nuclear facilities. The agency continued its inspections until the Iranian-Israeli escalation in June 2025.
