“I don’t like to talk about it because there’s nothing wrong until you get it done, but it’s fine,” Trump said.
“I think the situation is going pretty well in Iran,” he said in Air Force 1, Reuters reported.
Saturday’s exchange was indirect and mediated by Oman, as Iran wanted, not in person, as Trump requested. According to Esmail Baghhai, a spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, each delegation had a separate room and exchanged messages through Omani’s foreign minister.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragut said his delegation had a brief encounter with Witkov’s US counterparts after they had finished consultations.
“After the end of more than 2-1/2 hours of indirect consultations, the head of the Iranian and American delegations spoke for a few minutes before the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Oman when they left the consultation. The encounter was based on our political etiquette.”
Araghchi said the consultation took place in a “productive, calm and positive atmosphere.”
“Both sides agreed to continue discussions…perhaps next Saturday,” Araguchi added. “Iran and the US want a deal in the short term. We don’t want to meet for the meeting.”
